Description 

Okay, I'm gonna post this crag...mostly due to curiosity. I've asked around and no one that I've mentioned this crag to knows much about it. Went there with Dow Jopp, but he's in NC or somewhere (then AK, now MD). Now, it comes from notes from 1996, and the memories are blurred, but with this reorganization bit on BC, I've come across this curiosity again. So, if you know this crag, let me know.

Lying across Boulder Creek from Cenotaph, this small, slabby crag catches your eye when climbing at Cenotaph. It already had bolts, so it was known 10 years ago. It has at least 4 routes on it.

A. Unknown Groove, 10, 1p, 130'?, gear or TR.
B. Black Groove, 9, 1p, 110'?, gear or TR.
C. Right Side, 8+, 1p, 130'?, gear.


Getting There 

Drive up to Cenotaph Crag, past Castle Rock. Park. Wade the creek. Wander up to the slab. 15 minutes for tortoises like me.

Not NC, was AK....but now MD. Had to stop a moment to remember to jog the brain, was crusty too wasn't it? Not sure, but I might have some picures somewhere, will try to find and scan them.

Dow, good to see you on the site. Welcome back from the Great White Melting North. Pictures would be great! I can't find any.
