Description

Three sunny routes and one shady route are found on this short formation.

Getting There

From the next parking spot west of the Echo Cove parking lot, walk back along the road toward Echo Cove for about 50 feet. On the south facing hillside you'll see a formation with two prominent wide cracks. This is the Nymph Node. The cliff is about 75 feet from the road and gets sun most of the day.
