Description

These routes are at the east end of the Storm Mtn Picnic area, on a south-facing wall. They are all bolted with good anchors. Warm climbs with a shady base. One has a seep year round, that is too wet in the early spring to work with. The rock is nice and solid, with variable styles of climbing: angles, slabs, steep juggy arete, or just steep thin face climbs.

(We used to call this Storm Mtn East)

Getting There

Drive beyond Storm Mtn Picnic Area, through the tight corner, and park at the black slate parking lot on your left. Hike in, hopping over the remnants of Mule Hollow Creek. Walk along the old jeep road, until you gain the grassy field, and then head north through the field.
