Description

Another fun area that holds a good variety of climbs. Each route typically summits a detached pinnacle. Morning shade.

Getting There

From the kiosk head N and take the obvious gully just passed the Monster formation. Scramble up boulders and a faint path to reach the base of Kindergarten Rock on top of the boulders. The Little Gremlins will run from W to E on your right side until you reach the end of the gully.
