This is a crag situated between the Fallen Down Crag and the Christmas Crag (kinda challenging to find up close). Probably not worth much. It was a crag with a short line mistaken for Tree Crack during a brief foray in search of a quick climb during kid's naps. For future reference, you can easily see Christmas Crag from the current (2003) Twin Owls parking lot. It has at least one 5.7 route that finishes at the base of Christmas Crag.
Getting There
From the new parking lot, take the west trail towards the old Twin Owls parking lot ~0.6 miles. Hike up the trail as for Batman Rock & Checkerboard Rock. Perhaps 400 vertical feet up, there is a faint trail veering R towards Fallen Down Crag. Hike past and R of Fallen Down Crag. Find this rock just above Fallen Down Crag and below Christmas Crag.
Descend by traversing off up and R near Tree Crack of Christmas Crag and find a gully curving back to the base of the crag.
