Description

A smaller rock with a couple routes on it, but for all practical purposes this is the home of Gossamer, a stellar 5.7 with awesome moves and position.

Getting There

Look at the directions for the Monster area. From the sign in board, follow the path to the left, skirting the rock formation(s). As the rock subsides, follow the trail to the right & up hill. Trend a bit to the left, staying on the outside of the formations. Picture window should come into view & be obvious. Most likely there is a queue at the base of Gossamer.
