Shangri-La Climbing

The following is verbatim from Ben's book: approach as for Heaven's Gate, but instead of turning right on FS 244A, continue on FS 244 which turns into a steep 4WD trail that leads to a meadow. Head through the gate, and take your first right onto FS 245. Continue on this for about 1.3 miles to park in a small aspen grove. From here, walk west down the ravine, turn right to hug the hillside after about 300 feet, and the cliff will be visible on your right.

Per Steve Johnson 1: new directions numbers have changed. Go to FS Rd 244 turn left onto 244A. The next turn is left or straight onto 244D. Then go left or straight onto 242. Once on 242, go through the gate and first right onto 245. Go 1.3 miles on the 4x4 road, and park next to the aspen grove with a lot of dead trees. Hike down the ravine until you see the rocks on the right approximately 1/4 mile. Hug the rocks for about 300 feet, look for the amazingly huge tree, and you are there.
