Description
The Piggy Bank is a popular crag on the left side of the Bank with plenty of quality routes, mostly from 5.8 to 5.11. While Number 1 Super Guy is the area classic, there are many gems here. Expect it to be crowded on nice weekends, but there are plenty of routes to go around.
Getting There
From the Bank parking area, hike northwest down the dirt road. Don't take the first trail on the right (which leads to 2150 wall, the Dark Side and Cactus Cliff). Instead, continue down the road for about 10 minutes. Shortly after the road makes a gentle left turn, look for a signed trail on the right leading to the Piggy Bank. When the trail meets the wall, go left, and you'll be at the right side of the Piggy Bank. Turning right takes you to Bank Rob and the rest of the Bank.
