A Shady and cool location just east of JHCOB wall, with steep and smooth quartzite. Mostly bolted, with some trad and mixed routes. Most routes have anchors. A lot of great routes exist here, as well as a controversial one that keeps getting chopped by....
Getting There
Just past JHCOB wall hidden by pine trees resides Narcolepsy. 2 approaches exist. 1) Scramble up the talus field at the lowest point and angle left to find loose trails, until you attain a gully that scrambles up steeply to the cliffs.2) Park at Stairs Gulch, and clamber up the steep bank, follow the trail west taking the right fork past Challenge Buttress continuing west until you reach the gully to clamber up to gain the cliffs.
I climbed at the Narcolepsy area my first time the other day and I must say that the bolting here should become a standard. The bolts protect the cruxes of the routes really well, props to the FA's for reading the rock well and creating safe, exciting runouts. Runouts are brainfood for climbers.
