Description Suggest change

The gigantic boulder located near Red Springs that is visible from much of the road in Calico Basin.

Due to the short drive, short approach, and large range of grades, this is a very popular crag.

The routes to the left of Caustic Cock face southeast and receive morning sun and afternoon shade. The routes to the right face northwest and are shaded all day.

Getting There Suggest change

From the Red Springs parking lot, hike northwest along any of the branches of Calico Basin trail for a quarter of a mile directly to the base of the crag.

Alternatively, an even shorter approach is available by parking near the corner of Sandstone Dr and Assisi Canyon Dr and following a trail that heads directly to the crag.
