Description

This formation lies against the hillside, above and northwest of Vector Rock. The routes are on the northeast (i.e. shady) face.

Getting There

As you hike in from Split Rock, turn off towards Vector Rock but angle up and right for a few hundred feet. The Vogel and Bartlett guide both have topos, with the Vogel guide showing much better detail.
