Description
Rest Stop Cliffs is a series of cliff bands that see fairly little traffic, probably due to their short (< 50' tall) stature. Despite this, some of the routes are quite good and span a range of grades. If you've climbed everywhere else on Donner, this area might be worth a visit.
Also, many of the routes have anchors that can be accessed from the top, making this a relatively toprope-friendly area. The separate walls are numbered as they would be encountered from left-to-right.
Getting There
Follow the climbers trail through relatively flat ground to a small gully on your right side. Continue uphilll, following the gulley until it levels off and then turn right and ascend a grassy slope. There was a cairn at the top of this slope as of August 2019. Keeping the small cliff band on your right side, continue on until you see a talus field. The Fern Grotto is the first wall encountered on the approach.
