Description Suggest change

We did a recon on this overgrown crag in 2015, but could not see it's full potential. The 2017 Tubbs fire changed all that, and suddenly a new crag appeared - one that climbers have been walking past for 30+ years.

Getting There Suggest change

From the Bubble, head west on the Far Side trail and turn left after 200 ft. Blind Man's Bluff is another 300 ft. Meadow crag is 300 ft beyond Blind Man's Bluff. Both crags are clearly visible looking west from Bubble.
