The cool campsite near the river. If you're planni...
Description
A pretty big way backcountry crag with a long approach and AWESOME views. I am not kidding, this is a GREAT crag and well worth the long hike.
Getting There
At the end of Sawyer river road, a bike path diverges right from the gate follow this along the river for a couple of miles past a bridge to a large clearing. From the back left side of the clearing tramp along the river to gravel clearing at the base of a long gully. Up this gully 'till it ends, then go left for 20 minutes to the base of the cliff. Allow 2-3 hours or more, a bike can shorten the ride out.

Somewhere. It was a long way in and we already had enough shit with us. it would be an awesome site for photos though, no signs of humanity at all. You can kinda see Greens from up high, people think that's hike ? Ha! The best thing is cool belay ledges too. Like the top of P1 Children's Crusade.
When hiking up there be sure to go to the last clearing where the road/trail you're following terminates, then look for some pink and green survey tape for the best route into the campsite and cliff. Went in there this past weekend and found this on the way out and avoided the tremendously heinous bushwack we faced on the way up there.
