Description

A sprawling hidden crag that's home to a some nice climbs. There are some classic mid-grade trad lines as well as some new-wave sport routes in the 5.9-5.12 range.

Getting There

Hike up from the "Be Bear Aware" sign. Once you get to Schist Creek, follow a trail climber's left (west) through the forest to the crag. 15 minutes.

It's also possible to reach the area by traversing right (east) along the cliff from Enchanted Forest at Merriam Woods. Just keep traversing right, past a fixed rope and under or over some downed trees. The traverse is somewhat exposed at times. Eventually you'll see the cleaned blunt prow of Hoagies and Grinders, which is the leftmost route at Y-Crag.
