Description

Lookout Rock is a large formation that is very centrally located at the City. As would be expected from the name, the view is excellent.

There generally isn't anything to rap off up there, so plan on either slinging a conveniently located boulder to rap or downclimb. Your call.

Getting There

Approach via the ridge starting at site 22.
