Big Sleep Area Rock Climbing

There are several ways to reach the Big Sleep area, but the recommend approach is to take the Whiskey Snowmobile trail road. This road does not require 4WD but some clearance (small SUV/crossover) is ideal. A Subaru is fine to get in and out of here. 

Make your way to the town of North Fork (Center of California!). Pass through town heading east on Road 225. Go straight through the traffic circle staying on Rd 225. Not far past town you'll take left on Cascadel Rd (37.228606, -119.488801). This road will wind it's way up the hill. When the road arrives at an intersection (37.232333, -119.469504) you take a left onto the Whiskey Fall Rd. Follow this, for ~ 13 miles. Just stay on the mainline as you drive. Eventually you should be able to see the Big Sleep Dome, and you'll hang a left onto a often unmarked road which leads to the main camping area (37.335361, -119.420861). This last section of road (~0.25 miles) is the roughest section, if you took your Prius, you may want to park it before tackling the roughest section and just walk the last bit. 

Note- The old way of approaching Big Sleep from Mammoth Pool Rd and 7S02 is not recommended. The road (7S02) has become increasingly worse as the years have passed. The Whiskey Snowmobile Rd is generally in decent repair and is actually faster anyway. This is the main north to south thoroughfare to the south end of the ridge. The rocks generally come into view quite well after turning right (east) on 7S02 and the turnoff for the camping area is on the left just after this intersection.
