California > High Desert > Barstow Area > New Jack City > Box Canyon East > Raven Rocks

Description

North-facing crag with a variety of routes ranging from 5.10a to 5.13a - good to seek the sun or shade depending on time of year. Route lengths varies from 35ft to 90ft. Sport bolted; bring a dozen draws to be safe. Anchors also vary between closed cold shuts, open shuts and chains.

Includes benches for your viewing or snack-time pleasure.

Getting There

From the end of the furthest parking lot, head east through the fence using a well-marked trail. Raven Rocks is 70 yards from the parking area and located just south of Hueco Wall.
