Caterpillar Cliff Rock Climbing

From the trailhead parking lot, walk east, along the unofficial East Path, until it begins to climb upward toward the Measles Walls. Leave the path, continuing east along the mountainside, past the Below the Measles Wall. About 5 minutes past the BMW, head upslope, reaching a ridge with a steep-sided, narrow ravine on the opposite side. Cross the ravine, gaining a ridge paralleling Crane Mtn's SE flank (called Parallel Ridge). Descend to the base of the ridge (which is where the Waterfall Wall is located), and continue NE, still paralleling Crane's flank. Cross the stream where it bends sharply right, pass through a small cluster of boulders, then slant downhill slightly, to avoid a boulder-choke at a marshy area. Cross the marsh, gaining another decent ridge running beside the mountain, until a large boulder field is visible at the base of the mountain. This pile includes boulders 40'+ tall and lies just before private inholdings block public access farther northeast. Clamber up through the talus to the base of the cliff - the most feasible route usually reaches the corner between the two faces.
