Description
This is a somewhat secluded rock right off of Bear Creek Road about 100 yards west of Bear Creek Place. There is only one real rock formation offering multiple routes to climb up. It offers trad climbing on its west side and bouldering on its east side. The rock is [variable] and may be a little gravelly, so be aware. The rock is Dakota sandstone, so please refrain from climbing when the rock is wet, since it weakens the porous rock.
Getting There
If you are going west on Bear Creek Road, this will be about 100 yards after Bear Creek Place. There is a place to park a few cars. Take a sharp right from the start of the trail past the bridge and up towards the rock.
Per Kyle O: parking is located at "Stephanie's Trailhead" per Google Maps with address: 500-682 Bear Creek Rd., Colorado Springs, CO 80906. Walk uphill for one minute, and you're at the base of the rock.
