Description

Rose Hill Crag is one of several obscure rocks in the Willow Canyon/Rose Canyon Lake Area. The climbs face southeast, making the crag comfortable on chilly days. Relatively few routes and a long, but pleasant approach make it a good place to find some solitude. With a little moving around, Rose Hill and the neighboring rocks offer enough climbing for a few days.

Rose Hill Crag presently hosts climbs ranging from 5.8 to 5.10. While none are spectacular, all are worth the walk. The rock here is good, and the views to Windy Point are even better.

Getting There

From Rose Canyon Lake Campground (mp 17.3), hike around the lake to a low, stone dam at the lake's south end. From the west end of this dam, hike uphill to the south, following a faint winding trail through the forest for 10-15 minutes. This trail will bring you out onto a prominent ridge. The Willow Canyon Crags are down to your left as you walk out the ridge. Rose Hill is the first and nearest of these crags, immediately below.
