Description Suggest change

Steepest rock in the area with some great problems.

Getting There Suggest change

The closest parking is the southern entrance. See the directions on the main page. Once parked (there is a large new house going in right next to the lot, so keep the noise down), head straight in, following an unmarked and somewhat indistinct trail (at least with heavy leaf fall) that heads through a little valley. Walk in a minute then turn left, leaving the trail to climb up the hill and you should see the overhangs.

If you follow the original trail from the lot, in a few minutes you will be at the Cirque and meet the red blazed trail.
