The Secret Stash Rock Climbing

This crag is a nice place to spend a secluded afternoon climbing in a spectacular setting, especially if you have 4 wheel drive! There are currently 6 routes here with potential for several more. All climbs are on high quality, very hard quartzite, although some looseness is ever-present (it's the San Juans, ya know). Most routes are sport, but 2 require gear as well. All routes are easily toproped, since you approach from the top and rappel in. Bring webbing for large pine tree to anchor at the top of Bad Bowl.

The area faces west/sw, so it gets great afternoon sun. Both the top and bottom of crag are very steep, so extra care needs to be taken with loose rock. Once things start rolling down this slope, they do not stop! There are sweet campsites right at the parking as an added bonus!
