Note: for the SW face sport routes only! Raptor closures in place Feb 1st!

All aboard the Goose Caboose! From the Cragmoor TH, take the N Fork of Shanahan into Fern Canyon and take this up some stone staircases. (~ :45 to 1hr) After passing The Slab turn off and two boulders on the left, leave Fern Canyon here to the right by a raptor closure notice on a tree (if you're at the stairs under the impressive trailside Arete "Superfresh" you've gone a couple minutes too far).

Stay left of the large boulders and climb the wooded terrain between the East Ridge and the talus field. Keep left of the talus until traversing across the talus seems favorable. After some rock hopping, this should lead you to the wall around the route "Batman". Go up mostly along the wall to reach the other routes. Expect 1:15 to 1:30 of calf burning bliss depending on fitness and trail conditions.
