100 feet below the balls is a little rock blob with a good face on it's southern side that could entice you to wander up it's attractive looking jugs and pockets. Escape left to guarantee the top, escape right over the boulder if you dare, or take the proud line straight up the steep rounded top and risk becoming the Lava Bomb!

Lava Bomb

The Balls are two bigger than average boulders that likely trundled down below the road from the Balls Wall above. Bob Murray established the best lines on these rarely visited boulders long ago, using top rope protection for the taller lines. The rock is andacite or dacite, and occasionally sharp, but the lines are tall and proud, and with enough pads, could be bouldered. Top rope anchors are available. Enough problems for a day or two of bouldering.
