Description

Space Invaders is a huge, north facing, overhanging boulder. The climbing is in the 5.11d to 5.14 range. The routes can be led or easily top-roped.

There are two micro domes (the "Space Domes") across the gully to the northwest that offer short, challenging routes. Use this approach, but head up and left to the domes.

Getting There

For Space Invaders cliff, please park ON Sawmill Road. There is a pullout where a climbers trail departs to the crag. This trail remains on Forest Service land. It's less than 10 minutes to approach the cliff. Please do not park in the neighborhood. Photo attached.
