Description

Small buttress with north facing wall and west facing side around the corner. It's an ~18-25' block of really solid rock and pretty clean too especially compared with the other pebbles to squeeze right around here.

A couple of Bell-Boeing ospreys flew over right after I climbed and as I was thinking about a name. It was only a flight of two so expect it was Marine Two doing dry run for new pilot qualifying on the Camp D run not Marine 1. Def the president's ospreys though (HMX-1).

Getting There

There are two designated shoulder parking spot on 77 (39.633827, -77.476717) with enough room for at least 4 cars total. Hike due north, its about a 10mins bushwhack.
