Heavy Metal Rock Band Rock Climbing

To get to the Heavy Metal Rock Band Park at the lower campground/Nature Trail/yurt parking (AKA Swinging Bridge). Cross the swinging bridge take the nature trail counter-clockwise past 2 informational placards to a T intersection indicating nature trail left, go right at this T intersection. Continue on trail to fence. Cross the fence and follow trails uphill to the first significant trail going left (the Catalyst trail) through 2 house sized boulders 100 feet from this juncture, this trail is manicured for bicycling with berms, jumps, and the like. climb until the cliff band is reached, go right along cliff the bolts start appearing in about 150 feet starting with a bolted seam (Go Dog Go 11b). Expect about a 25-30 minute approach. Good quality trail the entire way up.

The Forest Service closed the Catalyst Trail a couple of years ago--a sense of humor they have not.  There is no sign now at the "first significant trail going left" so you have to keep an eye out to see the old trail which is not as obvious as it was but goes through a bunch of broken tree parts the Forest Service piled there.  Otherwise, the above description still holds true.
