Description

Birdshit Rock is a huge standalone boulder with a massive off-width crack running all the way through it, and a gigantic streak of nearly-fossilized decades-old birdshit running aesthetically down its face.
It is a good landmark for the area, as it is clearly visible from a good distance, and easily recognizable. It hosts a number of tall easy warm-ups, as well as a spectacular highball slab problem, going proudly up the center of the streak.

Getting There

From the Main Area, follow the gas-line road North for about one kilometer. The road will begin to curve right (Northeast) as it runs along the base of a gigantic white-sand hill to your left. Towards the end of the hill, there will be one of the orange sign-post markers on the road, turn right here. Follow the dirt road East for 350 meters until you get to the base of Birdshit Rock.

The boulder itself is quite tall and isolated, and the distinguishing features all face West, so you should be able to see the boulder from a good distance away as you approach.
