Getting There
From the parking area, take the "south" trail (yep, straight south) that is pretty obvious. You will be going over Dream Dome, then Lost Angel, which has descents either side - you want the far one. Look for a branch off the main path right before it hits a campsite, then heads left, away from the rock edge and downhill, eventually ending at an old mine hole. If you get to the mine hole, you're too far - head back up. The gully is fourth class - if you're using your hands much, you probably went too far.
Once half way down the gully, you can easily cross slabs to your left for a hundred hards and you'll get to Midnight Rock. Continue around, going up over a small notch, and then across 50 yards and down to Vanishing Point.
