Description
A seldom-visited and scruff crag, with little to recommend it. We traveled there from the Building Blocks, and honestly found it not much worth the 5 min additional walk. The nearby BB routes are far better.
This crag holds 3 published lines with 1-2 stars, but I am skeptical about if they deserve them.
The crag is scruffy, with lichen and scales of loose rock telling a lonely tale of few suitors. And that's all this old hag really can expect, based on my viewing and experience.
Getting There
From the Circle Creek Overlook Road, hike past the 'Bad Seed' on your right, then the 'Building Blocks' on your left. Just as the trail is ready to tun Northward, towards Tahitian Rocks, there is a sign on the right of the trail pointing towards Bucketland. Skip through sage to the obvious corridor of rock, and climb on the West face of the East formation.
