Description

This crag has a few leads and a few top ropes with bolted anchors and mussy hooks. Occasionally the rock is hard enough to warrant a bolt and there's a couple of cracks that take gear. A lot of the easier climbs are just bouldered but tall enough to feel like a solo.

Getting There

From the McCullough Hills Trailhead walk down the concrete drainage ditch to Rattlesnake Wash, the first wash on the left. Go straight up the hillside at the mouth of the wash past a few low boulders or, for a more eco friendly approach, up the wash taking the right fork. After 150ish feet in the right fork, just past a boulder and the second slick rock section, cut right and angle NE across the hillside to the base of the crags. Both of these lines had a trail cut in at one time way back when but the desert has since reclaimed them.
