Description

This seldom visited portion of Saddle Rocks is south-facing and sunny with a handful of routes and can be a fun escape for a few hours close to the car.

Approach as for Saddle Rocks then cut right near the base following a rough trail which circles around to the south as you work uphill through boulders.
