Description

A short dome-like rock found in the shade below the Cold Springs parking area.

Anchors for all climbs are trees found near the top.

The rock is climbable on its north and east sides. The east side is steep and heavily featured. The few climbs are towards its northern end.

The North end is low angled, heavily textured, and is the longest face. This side has crack systems that run throughout. It is a great place to learn to place protection.

Getting There

From parking area, walk downhill westward for ~350 meters until you see cliffs to your north. There is an indistinct trail that connects this area to the Split Rock area. To find this, just contour at more or less the same elevation to find the other area.
