Description

There's a handful of good climbs here. New additions "Stembellishment," "The Puzzler" and the latter's direct variation "Heir Rider Equipped" are some of the most enjoyable moderates at The Lost Crag. Not to be missed. For those not wanting to set top ropes on these climbs, there is a scramble approach on the side of the block just to the right of "Horizontal Bop." Bring one quick draw to clip over the sloping rise and to pull on as you make the move over the step. This piece of aid helps a great deal to avoid the somewhat sketchy move to access the top of the block. You can also use the draw to lower yourself back down before easily retrieving it.

Getting There

This area is to the right of the Snip Block.
