The Crow's Nest

Description 

A scenic crag pretty high up the mountain. Not a bad place to be when the lower crags are crowded and it's not real hot out. Some of the routes are pretty much in the full sun and some are shaded when the trees have leaves. Mostly, the crag feels hot and dry on sunny days. The climbs that I've done here tend to be technical but a little burly strength helps out too. Also, there is a rap station at the far left of the crag which brings you down to the Yellowknife crag. It's obvious to look at but some of the climbs on the left side of the crag start from a big ledge, with a big drop, so be careful.

Getting There 

1. Hike past the Jimmy cliff left side (clip a dee do daa) up a bit and farther, maybe ten minutes or so.
2. Climb the fixed rope in the gully from the right side of the Hinterlands, I recommend approach no. 1.
