Description Suggest change

40 ft tall quality, brown sandstone with a main crack feature and a mix of slab and overhanging climbs. Shaded and east facing, so it tends to get morning sun in the winter.

Getting There Suggest change

Park at the roadside parking area, off the east side of Devil's Back Bone Road, situated at the end of the road just before the road heads down a steep incline. Hike north along the road then take the trail right (east) into the trees down to the sandstone cliff. Best to get a local guide.
