Description

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.

Getting There

Just past JHCOB Wall, hidden by pine trees, resides Narcolepsy.

Two approaches exist (first is recommended):

* Park where Stairs Gulch crosses the road. Clamber up the steep bank and follow the trail towards Challenge Buttress. Take a hard right at the Wilderness Boundary sign before you reach Challenge. Continue West beyond the scree turnoff to Strone Crag. When you reach the lower climbs with the chimney, turn up the gully to reach the main cliffs.

* 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.
