[Hide Comment] From the parking lot, head down the main trail (Elk) for ~500 m, turning north (right) down the trail ~20 m before the outhouse. Take either of the stair sets to Crag's Trail at the base of the hill, and turn left heading west. Peal off on the spur trail just before the fence, cross the ravine and scramble up the rubble pile. 15-20 minute approach.

If you're going to the far left of this wall, it's probably easiest to approach as you do for Gomer Wall and pick your way back east along the base of the cliff.

Sun all day, a mad amount of ticks in the shrubbery near the belays, and chipmunks/marmots that might take a run at your bags. But, great rock with a few really stellar lines! Apr 12, 2020
