Description 

Some of the best hard crack climbing close to Bishop. The rock is similar to the Buttermilk's, but just bigger formations with some killer splitters. Bring your tape for these crags. The elevation is such that it can be climbed year round. Usually dont see the crowds at this area.


Getting There 

Take the 168 from Bishop and continue past the Buttermilk's road turnoff for approximately 3 miles. The crags will come into view up on the hillside to your left while driving. Take the dirt road left that heads down towards the power station and park. Cross the concrete flood gate below the dam and follow the trail for 10 minutes up the hill.
