Description

Less than vertical with interesting easy+moderate cracks - clean rock.
Classic problem is the "High Electricity" crack.

Close to parking.

Walking off from the top often hindered by difficult vegetation.

SSW exposure and lack of trees make this nice for cool days in the afternoon.

Getting There

From the main trailhead, walk North on dirt road uphill for 0.2 mile to an intersection. Turn sharp left on dirt road and go SW about 0.1 mile to another intersection. Go about two steps along the right fork dirt road, look up the hill to spot the crag (distinctive cracks identified from photo). Leave the dirt road to the right and walk North up the hill about 40 yards to reach the rock.
