Description
This large formation, the largest on the hillside, sits up behind Lloyd's Rock and somehow never made it into the guidebooks. Information is sketchy but this should be enough to get up there and check it out. The known existing routes are left to right:
Eat a Pickle (5.9) crack
Pickle Me (5.11a) 3 bolts, fixed pin and gear
Tickle Me (5.7) crack
Eat a Pickle (5.9) crack
Pickle Me (5.11a) 3 bolts, fixed pin and gear
Tickle Me (5.7) crack
Getting There
Approach as for Lloyd's Rock but keep going to near the top of the hill, aiming for the largest formation. The approach takes about 20-30 minutes.
