Access Issue: Private land crossing and parking information - PLEASE READ BELOW !
Details
You walk across private land to enter this area. The landowner has been tolerant so long as we don't disturb his land or his cattle. To keep a good relationship with him it is extremely important that climbers don't mess with grazing cattle, and that ALL GATES STAY AS THEY ARE FOUND. Also, the large gate on the north side of the parking area MUST NOT BE BLOCKED IN ANY WAY; the rancher regularly uses this gate as he drives a truck pulling a large trailer, so the road leading to said gate MUST STAY CLEAR by least 40 feet on all sides, including the road perpendicular to it (running east-west). If the parking area is full, drive past the bridge and park on the next pullout (not far), and NEVER BY THE GATE.
Please be respectful and keep this access open to climbers. Use posted photos for this area to familiarize yourself with where parking is and is not allowed. Access to all gates must remain available to a truck and trailer. Parking in any way that restricts access to the gates north of the highway will jeopardize access for climbing.

Description
This area is a narrow gap behind the main pillar of the formation, most easily accessed from the south side, just all the way westward from The Sunny Side wall.
Getting There
Hike up to the Prow, head to the Sunny Side moving west on the south side of the formation until you find the obvious large gap that splits the mountain in two.
An alternate approach is from the side of The Gap that faces downhill - essentially hike up the steep gully that you pass beneath on your way from the base of The Prow to The Bowling Alley. This path a quite a bit steep and the gully is can be rather loose depending on when the last rain occurred or the amount of live vegetation.
