Description Suggest change

This area is hidden high above the crowds of Calico, in a secluded and sheltered nook. It's a great spot to hide from the sun, hang in isolation and take in the views. A nice place to warm up at, before heading up the hill to Shrimply the Best.

Getting There Suggest change

25-30 minute approach, up steep slabs. Follow the approach beta on the provided photo.

From the Kraft lot, head into Ash Springs, aiming for the Connectivity and Desert-erada boulders. Having reached Desert-erada, start heading westward up the steep dirt pathway until you arrive at the red slabs. Do not continue up the steep drainage in front of you, or venture into the Strategic Arms gully. Continue weaving up the slabs, keeping the steep drainage somewhat closely to your left. Upon arriving at the base of your destination, you'll need to scramble over a 4 foot tall boulder, to enter the chamber. You'll know you've arrived, as a beautifully smooth wall, resembling Africa, comes into view.
