Description 

White Rock's hardest to access, least developed crag. Potential for some hard sport and trad routes on overhanging basalt. I recall the rock quality (it's been more than a decade) as excellent.

I can't tell you much about the routes here, because Luke and I only visited a couple of times. I toproped some stuff, but I don't remember much about it. If you're willing to hike for 45 minutes to an hour, go check it out.


Getting There 

Approach as for the Big Enchilada, then hike downhill and south into the huge drainage. Follow this all the way to the Rio Grande, and you'll pop out right at the crag (if you don't see it, just walk up or downriver for a few hundred feet and you'll find it). Approach hike is about 45 minutes (from the Big Enchilada), return hike is quite a bit harder.
