Description

Small crag located immediately to the (climber's) left of the Cookie Sheet. Morning sun, and afternoon shade (1pm in April). Lots of new, high quality routes here, up to two pitches and more going up. A good addition to the greater Cookie area. Most routes are 5.11 and up, but there is one 5.10 "warm-up" and a bunch of easier climbs just down the hill on the Cookie Sheet.

Getting There

Same approach as the Cookie Sheet, but once you've arrived at the base of the sheet, traverse to the climber's left and up a hill for about 200 feet. There is a nice flat "staging area" at the base of three independent bolted lines, all of the routes can be accessed from here. Watch out for poison oak on the approach and at the base.
