Description 

A small cliff located on the N side of the road with at least 2 routes. Find this cliff approximately 8 miles from Elephant Buttresses shortly upstream from Boulder Falls. There is an old mine below and just R of the cliff. Mind Shift Cliff is located just up and R from Mindless Cliff. There is morning shade in the summer.

Not the best crag for small children nor dogs.

L->R:

A. Ground Swell, 10, 1p, 80', gear & bolts.
B. Quick Chill, 9 PG-13, 1p, 80', gear.


Getting There 

Parking is probably best near the mine entrance. Scramble up just uphill from the mine on a faint trail perhaps 150 to 200 vertical feet. You approach this cliff from the downhill side. The slope at the base of the cliff is not flat and is made looser by recent precipitation. There are a few trees at the base and top for anchors. Descend to the L or R of the cliff. The L descent feels 3 rd class. You can rappel from trees.
