Description Suggest change

Just a subarea to Feral Petunia, this sector is on the upper right shoulder on the southeast side of the Feral Petunia formation. The crag faces the southeast, which gets sun from the morning till early afternoon when it goes into the shade. It’s easily noticeable by the large arrowhead feature located in the center of the crag and has some of the best stone on the Feral Petunia formation (which says a lot considering the goodness found on the main wall). Bring your trad and sport rack, because it’s home to some of the best moderate trad climbs as well as 5.11 in all of Badger Flats.

Getting There Suggest change

Use the directions listed on the Feral Petunia page.

Park at the first closed area sign with the large block boulder just up the hill. Head uphill following a fairly obvious trail to the Annual Bonus / East Feral areas, and continue uphill towards the right until you encounter the sweetness. You approach should take 15 - 20 minutes from the car.
