Description

This is a nice, north-facing, 70m tall crag with a flat, easy approach. The rock on this wall is beautiful, and the pitches are long and thoughtful. The routes on this crag were envisioned and equipped by Jed Selby. There is local lore about Jed taking a 40 foot fall going ground up on his first attempt at the wall. The routes are now protected by a mix of bolts and gear.

Getting There

Head South from Buena Vista on US Hwy 285 for about 8 miles, and turn right on CR 162 towards Mt. Princeton Hot Springs. Follow this road for about 10 minutes passing the hot springs. Pass Agnes Vale Falls on the right. Shortly after that the roads goes up a steep hill, look for a small pullout on the left (south) side of the road right at the hill crest, and park there. There is a well-defined trail leaving from this pullout that cuts horizontally across the hillside to the east. If you get to Cascade Campground, you have gone too far. Hike the flat trail eastward for 5-10 minutes until you are directly below the crag, then bushwhack straight up to it (a few minutes more).
