Moderate Crag

California > High Desert > Lucerne Valley… > Lucerne Limestone

Description

Smaller crag on the East side of the Main Cliff. Some really great moderate climbs are here.

Getting There

Walk east along either the base of the Main Wall or along the base of the hill and head up towards the "right" shoulder of the hill. Can't miss it.

[Hide Comment] This wall actually gets afternoon shade at around 2pm (except the leftmost route). Also if it is is really windy on the main wall, you can find better conditions here. Nov 18, 2013
