Description

The Southern Wall faces north and is located just along the creek. It provides shade all day. It has a great ledge to walk along the creek and to access the number of future routes. There will easily be 20 routes, both trad and sport in this area. CAN'T WAIT! It's a perfect summer crag! Climb in the shade then jump in the sunny creek. Watch for canyoneers finishing the canyon. Close your eyes as they strip out of their wetsuits.

Getting There

Follow the carn maked trail from the SW corner of the ADOPT lot. It droppes you into Spring Creek. You'll pass the Confluence Wall and continue down stream 200 yards till it meets Christopher Creek. Cross the creek to 150 yrds of mostly clean, liken covered, bomber quartzite. 10-15 minutes approach.
