The Buddha as viewed from up Canyon by the Rappel ...


Description 

This lies just up hill from Georges Stick.

Park in the big pullout on the north side under the big roof. The approach starts on the west side of the big roof and ascends a steep forest. When you get close to the top of the hill you'll notice a chimney to your left. Climb up this (E-Z) and make a airy step over/belly flop to the starting ledge at the apex of the chimney.

The route does a corkscrew of sorts so it faces everything from East-West. The rock varies from good to kind of good.


Getting There 

Take HWY 14 up Cedar Canyon, the route is about 8.1 miles up canyon, just past Geroge's Stick on the same side (left if going up).
