Umbrella Rocks(s) are two glacial erratic boulders that settled near what is now known as Lake Cavanaugh rd. Between the two boulders there are about 15 pitches with most of them rated in the 5.11-5.12 range. All but one of these pitches are bolted face climbs so 12 draws should do the trick for gear.

Umbrella Rock is a scrappy little crag that will always be under utilized. It has some sharp rock that is chossy in spots.

With that said there is also some super fun climbs, especially Slip Of The Tip, Bumbershoot, 7 Fathom arete, and Oubliette. All of the other routes are worth doing as well.

The terrain here changes on an annual basis so don't expect it to be an easy find the first time around. Constant clear cuts, old clear cuts that have since grown back, and lack of consistant traffic keep this a mild thrash to find.

As of April 2020 the trail has become a bit overgrown due to blowdown in 2018. BR02 is no longer marked but approaches the same and is in plenty good shape.

I5 north feom Seattle 62 miles to Mount Vernon and take the College Way exit. Drive east on College Way for 3.6 miles to a round a bout at the Big Lake Grocery. Continue east on hwy 9 south for 5.4 miles and turn left on Lake Cavanaugh Rd. Drive Lake Cavanaugh Rd for 7.2 miles and park at a concrete barrier on the opposite side of the road (left when driving east).

Walk from here passing the concrete barrier on its right side. Follow the remnants of that rd passing another concrete barrier, then straight and then veering up and right. Look for a pile of concrete and follow that fork for a couple minutes until the faint trail to Umbrella can be seen on the right.

To get to Calendar Butte, don't turn right as for faint trail to Umbrella, instead continue up the road for 30 minutes and follow newly installed flagging to the base of that cliff. (See Calendar Butte)
