Description

This nicely secluded crag is situated not that far off Sherman Pass Road, up on the Kern Plateau proper. The area can be windy and cold in the fall and spring but for the most part, it's an ideal area during the summer months. Mostly sport ranging from 5.7 to 5.11.

Getting There

Take the 395 North to the Nine Mile Canyon Rd. Turn left and climb Nine Mile Canyon Rd. Drive about 20 to 25 miles to the Kennedy Meadows store. From the store, continue on Sherman Pass road approximately 15 miles until you get to Fish Creek Campground on your left. (Pay FS CG with H20 and pit toilets) on your right you'll find the free camping, “overflow” the trailhead is back 1 mile. Just before the end of the road you can find lots of camping- down by the creek are smaller sites that are best for car camping. Room for car parking at the end of the dirt road. Two trails lead to the rock. When the water is high, cross the steel bridge and hike up a faint trail sticking close to the stream. OR if water is low don’t cross bridge and pickup a well used trail, go over an interesting talus field, and follow it till you have almost gone past the crag and cross creek. Do this and you end up at the left end of the crag. At the start of Lichen It.
It about a 10 minute hike.
