Spencer on at the 2nd station on Davis Face, SNOWI...
Description
Secluded, maybe a party on it, and that's bad luck if there is... Classic "Center Route" goes at 5.9, and there are a couple other routes, too! Beautiful face that goes at roughly 500 ft. and 4-6 pitches. 30 min hike in, bomber granite.
Getting There
To get there, consult the trailhead shop in Buena Vista, just on the outskirts of town heading west, I believe. Getting to the crag is easy if you have someone actually tell you it's on BLM land, behind Bob's Rock. CR 371 a ways back, NE of Bob's Rock?
Starts right in the center of the face, up prominant crack feature.P1: long 5.6 to bolted belay, stay in dihedral.P2: crux pitch 5.9 bulge, pull it, then continue on easy 5.8 finger crack on slab, to another uncomfortable bolted belay w/ cable running trhough bolts.P3: short 5.8 chimney come out to the right to another nice bolted belay.P4: mental crux pitch, short, and hard to find the hold, 5.8+ go up the dihedral then break out right to face c...[more]
To get to the face take 371 to 375 and follow 375 for about 2.7 miles. Turn right onto 375a. Cross over 4 mile creek and keep left on the road. This road will veer away from the creek. Stay on this road for about 5 miles and always keep left at the forks in the road. The road will pass right in front of the face. Park where you wish and hike up about 20-30 minutes to the base of Davis face. I do not believe there is an established trail so wear good shoes. 375 is a dirt road with a lot ups and downs. A 4WD vehicle is not necessary if the weather is good but you may want a high clearance vehicle for the drive.
