Description 

So far this crag has only 1 route. The route is relatively clean gneiss located 100 yards west of the hot pots at the mouth of Ogden Canyon. The route is north facing and overhangs the river. The surrounding rock is pretty chossy. The cave nearby is recognizable and popular amongst the O-town graffiti artists.

Getting There 

Park as for the Hot Springs right when you enter Ogden Canyon. The pullout is across from the waterfall. You can't miss it. Follow the trail down past the hot springs, along the river's edge, until you can't go any farther. You'll be at the base of the route.
