James Macfarlane described the ...
The rock is a glacial erratic estimated to weigh 1,800 short tons (1,600 t) and has a 30-foot (9.1 m) overhang. It is 55 feet (17 m) high and 35 feet (11 m) wide. [1] It was deposited by glacial action between 20,000 and 11,000 years ago.

Fluvio-glacial processes can occur on the surface and within the glacier. The deposits that happen within the glacier are revealed after the entire glacier melts or partially retreats. Fluvio-glacial landforms and erosional surfaces include: outwash plains, kames, kame terraces, kettle holes, eskers, varves, and proglacial lakes. [4]
