Description

You'll find excellent stone and splitter cracks on this southeast facing chunk of granite. The two original routes used to require a walkoff. Two bolt anchors and mussy hooks now top each climb. There is also a set of new anchors on top of Magnus Pillar that delivers top rope/ top rope solo access to all of the routes. All fixed hardware is bomber Fixe stainless steel. A single 70m rope gets you up and down all of these pitches.

Getting There

Park in the small paved pull out 0.4 miles past Big Meadow Campground/ the parking for Gong Show. Walk across the meadow and into the trees towards Rock Creek. Head upstream a short distance to the tree that crosses the creek. Once across the creek, follow cairns that head up and left toward Juniper Wall. Stay right of Juniper Wall and head up towards Magnus Pillar.

Allow 20 minutes.
