Description
The lowest of the Deception Crags, Substation is a quarter-circle of rock on the west bank of Change Creek, just below the first bridge on the IHT. It is the lower part of the Write-off Rock massif. The steeper climbs are similarly slippery, but the longer slab climbs have a bit more grippy rock. At the corner/middle of the crag (left of Homo Erectus) is a mini waterfall that sometimes freezes in winter, and keeps the nearby routes drippy until deep into sunny days. Substation has a mix of moderate .10s and more beginner climbs. While the belays are always shaded, some of the longer routes will pop out to sunshine.
