Description

A nice and secluded little area with a tranquil feel to it. There is a huge boulder with a sick roof and 2 5.11 climbs. If you look around you will find deep pools where you can cliff dive off of plus do some great deep water soloing. There is still a lot of potential in this area, plus downstream you will find more boulders and cliffs. Plus a few slabs.

Getting There

Follow the trail downstream about 10 - 15 minutes from the Dome.

Note: If you have pads, it will take about 20 minutes to head down and 30 to get back up to the main trail. There are several points on the trail with low branches that require you to take off your pads.

When you reach a long stretch of low manzanita, you can either drag your pads through the grove, or you can exit to the right into an open space next to a tall tree, and walk downhill until you see the manzanitas open up on your left.
