Description

Two crags that are more or less roadside after pulling off on Mount Potosi Canyon Road. The main feature of these cliffs is how sharp the rock is. It is SHARP! Not classic routes by any means, but certainly good enough for a day of cragging if you don't want to walk up any hills to get to some limestone.

Nearly all Comedy Crag anchors were upgraded with new ASCA hardware (links and hooks) summer 2023.

Getting There

Park right at the intersection of Potosi Canyon Road and 160, and look up the hill to the south. Obvious trail a short way up the hill to the right crag, left crag is in your face.
