Description 

This slabby wall is home to a number of fun slab routes, some cracks and one ultra-classic sport route. Rock quality is average, but with a short approach and less than average traffic this is a wall to check out.

Routes to check out include An Eye For An Eye And A Route For A Route (5.10b), a well protected thin face route with a long name, X-Rated Tits (5.9), an interesting bolt-protected groove to crack climb that has a name you'll either love or hate and the popular steep sport route Father Figure (5.12d) that is definitely not a slab.


Getting There 

From the Barker Dam parking area follow the trail out to Barker Dam proper and look east to a light-colored slabby wall which is Lakeside Rock.

This formation provides numerous excellent routes. A party of climbers could spend the day here; I have.
