Description

A nice crop of rock far off the beaten path. This tall featured crag has two lines worth stopping to climb. The routes here are mixed and require a light rack of small to medium cams. The lines are around 90 feet, so a 70 meter is preferred. Morning shade and afternoon sun. Get here on the early side as it will get very exposed and hot in the summer. Chain anchors for both.

Getting There

Approach from the Boxtop trailhead. Follow this TH until you reach the creek or dried creek bed, turn right and head east around the cluster of rock and skirt the base until you find the obvious checker featured face.
