Description

Facing the parking area is this long formation with a large white flake just left of center and a wavy horizontal crack high on it's right side.

Left of center is the Den of Doom which is home to a number of short routes, the best being Doomsday (5.10a), Hellraiser (5.10a) and Creature Feature (5.11b).

Getting There

Head west from the parking area following the trail which starts just left of the toilet. When the trail forks take the left branch and follow it to the base of the rocks and then head left until able to wander back through some bushes to a short scramble over a wedged flake which leads to the base of the wall with Hellraiser. The approach takes 5 minutes or less from the parking lot.
