Description Suggest change

This is a large, south-facing wall with some fun sport routes and incredible views of the nearby White Mountains and surrounding area.

Highlights here include Welcome to Planet M.F. (5.10a) a right-slanting dike to hand crack, Spiders from Mars (5.10b) a long face over a roof and Mercury Landing (5.10c) a technical face.

Getting There Suggest change

Park at the southern lot and hike east along a trail that skirts the rocks on your left. Just past Wave Rock you'll turn the corner to the left and Lost Piton Rock will come into view.

kenr adds: "From the SW corner Parking (GPS latitude longitude N37.7271 W118.5681), hike about 650 feet East following below the base of cliffs, crossing a significant N-S gully then passing the Wave Rock (with big roof near top of its right half). Soon find the cliff with two obvious little domes on its top."
