Description
These sit east of Lion's Head on the far west end of the park.
Getting There
Hike or bike from the trailhead on Staunton Ranch trail until it turns into Bugling Elk. Follow Bugling Elk to the Elk Pond Cabin, and bushwhack due south along an old road. The road eventually peters out, and you will have to continue cross country to the crags.
Per Kirk Miller: follow Bugling Elk Trail to the Elk Pond Cabin. From the cabin, head uphill on the Lion's Back Trail. Take a left on Chimney Rock Trail to access the developed climbing.
