Gold Crack Boulder/Which Way Jose is a bouldering area in California's Mount San Jacinto State Park, within the San Jacinto Ranger District of San Bernardino National Forest. The land is managed by State Park and Recreation, and the area sits among several other climbing spots, with Greasefire Boulder and Wave Boulders each about 0.1 mile away. The area holds five boulder problems, all rated on the V scale. The easiest is Left Gold Crack at V3, and the hardest is Which Way Jose at V9. Left Gold Crack (Sit) and an unnamed V7 round out the V7 grade. The routes are clustered close together, so the area works well for a short session of bouldering. For a change from the rocks, Round Valley Trail and Desert View Trail are both within about half a mile. Camping is available at Black Mountain (San Bernardino) and Fern Basin, each roughly 5 miles away.
