Description Suggest change

The first wall you will encounter on the approach and easily identified by the striking corner system of D.D.D. (5.11a) is home to a nice collection of a dozen plus routes. 

The left side is a bit steeper while the right is slabby with a nice concentration of routes.

Getting There Suggest change

Park at the Lake George parking lot and start hiking on the Crystal Lake Trail. 

Hike uphill for about 10 minutes until some large water tanks come into view, then leave the main trail and head for these where you'll pick up another trail. 

Cross over the ridgeline and then contour along the hillside via a good trail that follows some water pipes until you reach a a fork in the trail, stay left, and the crag will quickly come into view. The left side of the Spring Wall is the first rock you will encounter. 

  • The approach takes about 15-20 minutes if you hit it right.
