Description

The first large horizon line immediately below where the island converges had only one feasable line, to the left of a large mid ledge boulder. It lands in turmoil and pretty close to another large bouder in the outwash. Instead of Great Boof, the better name might be Marginal Boof. Maybe it cleans up with more water.
