East Crags

Description 

The East Crags are a collection of two main rocks that are west-facing, off the beaten path, and although close to the road and more popular crags, seldom see traffic. Morning shade and afternoon sun.

Although on the short side, these crags offer fun and technical climbing in an out-of-the-way area. Routes to do here include Follow your Dike (5.10b), Tongue Buckler (5.10c), A Wrinkle in Time (5.10d) and Welcome to Sky Valley (5.10d).

Routes listed left to right:

Tongue Buckler (5.10c)
Follow your Dike (5.10b)
Hairy Eyeball (5.9)
Ritten on the Wall (5.10b/c)
A Wrinkle in Time (5.10d)
Prescription Pils (5.6)

and further right on another rock is

Welcome to Sky Valley (5.10d)

Getting There 

From the East Face of Lost Orbit Rock hike east, passing a seasonal stream, and then pick up a well-worn trail heading north. The crags, the largest on the hillside, are readily visible to the right (east). Plan on a 5 minute walk from Lost Orbit Rock, a 10 minute walk from the vicinity of Parking Lot Rock and a 15 minute walk from the upper parking area.
