Description

Located below Watson Lake Dam on the east side of Granite Creek. The rock quality is very good on most routes and the setting is beautiful. The ground can be soggy certain times of year. Climb early morning in the Summer for shade and afternoon in the Winter for sun. Descend by rappelling or walking off to the south back to the trail.

Getting There

Park on Granite Dells road and walk the flume trail below the dam. Cross the small steel bridge and hike down creek to the cool steep wall with a large X crack in the center.
