Description

This prominent rock can be easily seen from the road. It is just another 100 yards are so farther up the road north of Yellow Dog Rock. There is a well-marked trail linking the two adjacent rocks, and each rock has its own approach trail.

This crag is included in the "Rock Climbing Guide to Matakat Road", a pamphlet style guide that is available at climbingpamphlet.com.

Getting There

Per Jesse Morehouse: from the intersection of CR 77 and Marakat Rd., follow the later for 0.7 mile, and park close to the rough dirt road that heads off left from Marakat. I believe this is the second dirt road on the left. The first one has private property signs. The climber's trail crosses the drainage opposite the small dirt road. The trail goes up the draw straight to the rocks. The left two climbs are on the Northwest face and the right two climbs are on the Southwest face separated by about 100 yards of broken terrain.
