Sunny Side Up Crag

California > Northwest Calif… > Trinity Alps

Description

Secluded 1-3 pitch crag that gets a lot of sun and is thus free from snow starting in the early summer. Other than the routes added here, there are many other quality "choose your own adventure" routes to the top.

Getting There

Start at the North Fork Swift Creek trail head and hike past Lilypad Lake to Thumb Rock. After passing Thumb Rock, gain the ridge and cut right off the trail.
