Description Suggest change

This crag has some very high-quality crack pitches. All belays are bolted, cruxes are short, well-protected, and easily aided, so don’t be deterred from jumping on something above your limit. 

All belays are bolted and rigged for rappel. You can rap from any anchor with a single 60m rope.

This wall faces north and receives almost no sun, even on the year's longest days. A nice breeze usually comes up the valley by mid-morning/afternoon. It is one of the best summertime crags in the valley.

Getting There Suggest change

The trail entrance is directly across the road from 59945 Hunter Creek Road, 400m east of Hunter Creek Rest Area.

Park on the south side Hunter Creek Road, east or west of 59945. Do not park directly in front of the house. Or, park at the Rest Stop and walk along the road.

There is a fence directly across the road from the house. Walk along the east side of the fence, cross the clearcut for the pipeline and aim for the large cedar tree slightly to the right (west); there should be some flagging tape.

The trail enters the forest beside a very large boulder (Metropolis Boulder). Walk past this and go left for ~40-50m, then go right past a couple more, large boulders (Horse With No Name Boulder). The trail passes the boulders and starts going uphill. It should be fairly easy to find at this point. Follow cairns to the base.

(Car to the base is approximately 10-15 mins).
