Description
The Asylum is an enlcosed corridor running north-to-south which is made up of three separate walls - Scary Rock, Keith's Wall and Split Personality Rock. Good climbing can be found here and the slightly rugged approach keeps the traffic to a minimum.
Getting There
Approach as per Split Personality Rock from the north or easier still hike up past Conrad Rock and enter from a rocky notch where the top of Scary Rock will be visible. The approach takes 15-20 minutes from the closest parking area.
