Description Suggest change

The second crag of the Cotton Hill trio, also known as Jonestown. A continuous cliff that holds a nice variety of both sport and trad moderates, but unfortunately with quite a bit of broken, ledgy rock. The best routes are at the far upstream end on Government Buttress.

Getting There Suggest change

Park in the Cotton Hill lot and begin walking up the road past the boulder. Walk around the gate and after a few yards pick up a trail on your left. Wind your way up the hill; total approach time to the first climb is ~10 minutes.
