Description

The Skunk Cave is a small area, but it has several very fun and very steep routes with one vertical route thrown in there for diversity. The cliff faces due north, which means it gets absolutely no sun and is a great choice for hot days. Routes here range from 5.10d to 5.12b but may feel a bit sandbagged.

Getting There

To reach the crag hike to the Hidden Cliff, then follow the trail north and then east for another 2 or 3 minutes to reach the obvious overhanging area just before the next set of metal stairs up a cliff band.
