Big Foot Boulder and Overhangatang in Hyalite

Found myself with a couple of spare hours so Manfred and I ran up to Hyalite and sent some routes on the Big Foot Boulder which did not make the new bouldering guide. As far as I can tell, Im the only one climbing on it. For an area that doesnt have much of an immediate boulder scene, Im surprised the Big Foot doesnt see any traffic. Overhangatang has people on it daily. My little secret I guess. Its Hyalite though, Im not sure how many secrets are left up there. After some nearly highball sends, we moved down the road to the Overhangatang and sent it a couple of different ways. There are some other unnamed boulders in that talus field that I climbed. Thanks to whoever cleaned up the landings!

Im 6'2" which makes Big Foot boulder atleast 18' tall at its high point. This thing is like a tower that tipped over; it must be 50yds long! Mostly V0 and V1 but the highpoint has some V2-V3. I estimate that there are atleast a dozen lines on the boulder.
