Description

The dark side is on the northwest face of High Eagle. This area is the first of area encountered on the trail to High Eagle from Friend Rock camp. The right side of the Darkside is sometimes referred to as the Amphitheater. Routes in that section will be included here.

The right most routes (Leanie Meanie, Pickle Missle etc) get shade in the morning. The rest of the dark side goes into the shade by 10 or 11 am in the summer time.

Getting There

5-10 min walk from Friend Rock Camp. Find the log with a section cut out of it below FRC. Their are cairns on the log. Walk downhill towards the amphitheater. The first routes are on the left side of the amphitheater.
