Description

The well-known slabby beginner area, popular with guide schools for decades. Mostly slick climbs with tricky pro, including RPs, but all easily toproped with a single rope (most off of bolts).

Getting There

Across Rock Creek going west from the Iris Meadow campground.

Right before turning right into Iris Meadow Campground from the 395, there is a small pullout on the right hand, in front of the campground sign. Park there and walk in toward the campground. Before entering the campground itself, there is a small trail heading into the woods. You'll very quickly see the creek. Cross across two logs and head left for a couple minutes until you see the crag up on your right hand side. Hike up to reach the base of the right side of the crag.
