BETA PHOTO: The East Face of Crown Rock. The parking area is ...
Description
Not much here for the *serious* boulderer, but plenty of fun for the rest of us. The east side contains a big flatironesque slab that's a popular easy toprope. The west side has a traverse, that's good for foot work training and some moderates that scale to the top. The top is obviously popular with the partying crowd as there are usually some empty beer bottles up there.
The easiest way to get to the top is probably from the west side which is important to know if you want to set up the top rope or party up there.
Getting There
Just before reaching the main parking area this rock looms on the left side of the road. Its just passed the bike rack if you're starting from the South side main parking area.
This is a great place to start climbing. This was the rock my son starting climbing on when he was 4. It is easy to attach a top rope and start climbing (college students solo it all the time) .
It is like a mini Flatiron and is a good place for people to learn how to rappel. Best starter rock for little kids, they love it!
