Description

A smaller outcrop with several splitter cracks up an overhanging face (~20 degrees). Despite its diminutive stature, the routes are all high quality and would be classics in the area if they were a bit longer. The short hike and accessible top anchors make this a great after work crag to get some mileage and practice jams.

Getting There

Drive up Sheep Mountain Road past the parking area for the Frisbee Golf Course. Take note of the outcrop east of the road (right hand side). Park just past this outcrop or a little farther up the road to avoid damage to your car from wayward disks. Hike downhill around the upper margin of this outcrop, avoid going uphill or dropping into the gullies. After a few minutes you should see the outcrop on your right. If you end up in a steep gully you have gone to far.
