Description
A WAYYY out-of-the-way crag with easy (1 min.) walkup access from a high-clearance vehicle. Excellent low-angle to steeper slabbing in a mountain oasis in the high desert.
Getting There
High clearance mandatory, 4 WD nice. Take the Agate Flats road exit N about 5 mi past Split Rocks. Then take a GOOD topo or BLM map. The "roads" shown in Lander Rock are not much better than wagon ruts across the prairie. Deep sand in places, narrow, and lots of sagebrush.
I've tried to drive back there w/o engaging my 4wd, but can never make it--it's the sand at the begining that usually gets me. I guess I'm just posting this as a warning to others. Oh, and don't forget to leave the gates as you found them (I've only seen them closed).
