Description
This cool mostly shady crag hides way out on the back side of the Iris. You'll generally encounter many people here in the summer, but you will find a number of classic lines from 5.10 to 5.14. Wotai (10d), Medicine Man (11c), When I was a Young Girl.. (13a), and Throwin' the Houlihan (14a) are the must do if you can lines out here.
Getting There
Shorter approach from Aspen Glade camp/parking:
Start hiking as for Aspen Glade, using a small, well traveled forest trail just uphill from parking. Exit forest and switchback up a meadow to crest a small ridge. Go right (left goes to Aspen Glade). Follow this trail for about 5-10 min. The trail will lead directly into a forest.
Longer approach from main parking:
Walk towards the main iris, staying left and high at all junctions until you pass the Main Wall on the left. Or, approach from the main wall by hiking up the wall and joining the trail past the Rising from the Plains section. Continue on the faint trail until you start to see the mostly sunny cliffs of Gun Street and Aspen Glade in the distance, look for a faint trail off to the right (becomes most distinct shortly) heading into the pine forest with not much rock immediately visible. Soon the Erratic will show its impressive white clean face with the 14 routes on the first steep section. Mono pocket pulls anyone?
