Description

Renamed at the request of Jack Marshall, this crag has routes developed by Scott Cosgrove, Geoff Fullerton and Jack Marshall. It's part of the Cliffs of Insanity area and is the first crag you reach on the approach.

Getting There

Trail on Google Maps. Its a long approach from the West Canyon parking lot. You can also hike over the ridge from the East Canyon parking lot. Take the Twin towers trail and go up the gully left of Hard Rock Cafe and Slab City. When you reach the giant undeveloped slab at the top, go right and hug the formation on your left up and over the ridge. Keep heading left as you go down. There is one 6' scramble right before you reach the first route of the crag.
