Description

A conglomerate mass of decomposing granite. Yet somehow there's some pretty decent climbing on it. There are three old trad lines that date back to the early 80's and late 70's. With some fairly modern sport climbing coming in in the late 90's and 2000's. Mickey Dunagen put up several hard boulder problems and routes. There is not a lot of room up there so I would not bring too many people.

Getting There

If coming from 178 East, it is just before the first power station approximately 2 miles in the canyon. If going 178 West, it's all the way through the canyon just past the last power station on your left.
