The Left Hand of Darkness is conveniently located at the intersection of Quail Springs Road and Lost Horse Road - the dirt road used to access the Lost Horse Wall.

The East Face sits right off the road and is home to mostly moderate cracks and faces up to 5.10+.

The West Face has a more secluded feel and offers a good concentration of routes in the 5.11 range.

Park in the small lot at the intersection of Quail Springs Road (paved) and the dirt Lost Horse Road.

East Face approach: A short trail leads from the parking lot to the rock. 

• The approach takes about 1-2 minutes and is very kid friendly.

West Face approach: Hike down the road, skirting the north end of the formation to reach a trail heading south which leads to the base of the west face. Some scrambling is required to reach some of the routes making this not a kid-friendly area. 

• The approach takes about 5 minutes or less.
