Description

This beautiful Southwest-facing wall hosts two quality moderate pitches with room for a handful of others. The rock here is a very interesting form of granite, which has been scooped out and sculpted by years of water to form intricate runnels, tufus, and bathtubs.

Getting There

The crag is located across the river on the far east (downstream) side of Arch Rock. The best approach is to park the the bridge 300 feet downstream from arch rock, walk along the river heading upstream for about 100 feet, then cut up the hillside (the trail cliffs out if you don't) aiming for a notch on top of the cliff. Summit the hill, then head back don and left to reach the cliff by the river. You know you're there when you see the obvious, low angle, water pod covered wall.
