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, go to Fish Campground on your left. However, turn right on a dirt pad for overuse camping. Follow the dirt road until you can go straight or left. Take the left dirt road. Once you make the left, go about 100 yards and park.

At the end of the road, hike along the left side of the creek, passing a faint climber's trail and some cairns through the right side of a rock pile. Beyond this, continue along until you are almost past the far left side of the crag. An easy stream crossing here leads directly to the start of Lichen It. This method avoids any scrambling and the bush whacking found on the other side of the creek. Approach time: ~7 to 10 minutes from the end of the road.
