Description 

This is an excellent formation nearly in the entrance way to the Indian Cove campgroun area. It's about 70 feet high and features lots of nice moderate routes. Parking just below means the approach is less than five seconds. Very popular. During the cooler times of the year, this rock will have enough ropes dangling off it to make it look like a balloon in the Macy's Thanksgiving parade!


Getting There 

When driving into Indian Cove Campground, Billboard will appear on the left side of the road just after you pass the sign indicating the group campsite areas. Two features will make identification positive: 1) The little roofed three-sided billboard with park announcements and camper notes. 2) The recycling bins just off to the side of the formation.

There's a new bolted line (3 bolts and a pin) about 30' left of We Dive at Dawn. Anyone know what it is? Todd?
