Description

This small east-facing formation hosts two short but steep routes - Lock and Load (5.11a) and Guns and Gold (5.11b TR).

Getting There

Standard Rotten Rock Valley approach and then head southwest from Lower Buttresses via some boulder hopping through rough terrain until you come to a large flat open area where you will see the formation off to the west.
