Description 

Sport Climbing


Getting There 

1. Head west on NV-431 (Mt Rose Hwy) 5.4 mi
2. Turn right at N Timberline Dr 1.2 mi
3. Slight left at NFD 049 Rd 1.8 mi

There will be a pull out on your left. If you get to the steep hill that does a bunch of switch backs, you went to far. From this hill you can easily see the rocks though.

When you park, walk up the road you drove in on maybe 100 yards. On your left will be a distinct mountain bike/hoarse/walking trail. Go on this. Walk for maybe 150 yards or so. You will come to a fallen over tree on your left. It is covering a not so obvious walking trail. It is pretty hard to find. If you do find it, follow it. After maybe 25 yards you will come to the creek, cross it and continue on the trail up the hill. This takes you right to the base.

The main wall is to your right when you cross the creek...if you head to the left, there is a smaller, more over-hanging wall with a few harder routes put up by Steve Glotfelty...I'm not sure the grades--I think 11s.

Ya. I have climbed on those before. They are harder and have some run out bolts.
