Getting There
Once at the most left route at Pup Tent, follow the trail west till it bends around a corner.
See pic for alternative trail. Stick left at the fork for the approach of Pup Tent for a more direct approach.
The most direct approach is to follow the main Hadley Gulch trail from the parking lot for about 1/3 of a mile, and just before a sign for the 1840a trail (which heads up to the far right end of the pup tent), go left through the barbed wire fence at a rustic gate. Follow this trail for about a half mile to the creek, and then follow the creek for a short distance. You'll see the cliff up on your right. Head up a steep but obvious path and you'll end up near Buggery.
