Description Suggest change

One of the first crags to dry in all the exits. The crag has two short and extremely powerful 5.12s, a short 5.10, an amazing 5.11 and a lonely 5.9. The Cirque is a collection of 4 individual walls spread along the Interstate Park Loop between the turns offs for Truck Town and Gun Show.

Getting There Suggest change

Walk up Dirty Harry's trail until you see the climbing trail loop. On the climbing loop, walk past the turnoff to Truck Town and go through the talus field. On the other side of the talus field is the trail down to Gun Show. Turn left/upslope instead - you should be able to see a tiny sign that says The Cirque. The trail has little traffic but is decently noticeable.
