Description Suggest change

Turtle Rock's rock quality is that regular, old, bomber, pink Sherman granite. Prepare for everything from faceholds and fingers all the way to chickenwinged offwidth jams. Bring a ton of tape! I have seen no action or activity anytime I have ever been here. The only other people I see are down on the trail itself.

Getting There Suggest change

Follow the signs to the Turtle Rock Trail which encompasses the entire formation in a huge circle. Pick your spot and climb!
