Approaching the crux on Black Slab right

Description 

At one point, this was listed under Monitor Rock. To help with organization, we'll create a separate listing for this rock.

This is a small crag which is located near Outlook Rock on the northeast side of the road along CO Hwy 82. It has a pleasant slab with at least a couple routes.

Getting There 

This crag lies west of Twin Lakes, just past the Parry Peak Campground. There is a small quarry off the north side of the road. It is about 1-2 miles east of Monitor Rock on the east side of Independence Pass.
