Getting There 

This cliff lies up wash from Mary Jane Wall. It is elusive, as one can not see the crag well through the trees until you are directly below it. Best way to find it- from wash below Mary Jane Wall- keep heading up wash along base of hillside until you have a clear view of Mary Jane Falls off to the right. There is an obvious rock cairn at the base of the short trail that leads up and out of wash to the crag.
