Description

A relatively forgotten crag which has seen some recent attention, resulting in two standout routes that climb either side of an amazing blade of rock. A trivial approach makes this a perfect option for short sessions along with the Aquarium. When the leaves are up though, you probably wouldn't see it from the road unless you knew it was there!

Getting There

Park at the Giant Mountain Ridge trailhead and walk 1 minute off the road on the north side. This is just about on the opposite side of the road as the Aquarium, and to the climbers left of a short, wet wall (a popular ice crag for beginners) that sits very close to the road. This can make for a nice shower spot if you're camping in the pass, incidentally, unless it's been a bit dry
