Description Suggest change

A nice slab of rock with technical routes of all shapes and sizes. A majority of the routes here consist of low angle friction climbing with the occasional steep, featured route thrown in for good measure. Most lines here are bolted with the exception of the ground-up trad line Widowmaker.

Getting There Suggest change

From the main parking area, follow a well established trail into the canyon. Continue on this trail passing the Graveside Boulder, here the trail crosses the stream and continues on another 400 feet or so until a large slab of rock appears on your left. Follow an obvious trail to the base.
