Karasawa Rock Climbing

From the cable that blocks driving further up the Kimpu San Highway, walk up the road for roughly 10 minutes. You will pass a pumphouse looking building on the right and then Gamma Slabs, also on the right. Continue up the highway past a pipeline crossing the stream on the left and a series of retaining walls on the right. After roughly 20 minutes uphill from the cable, you will come to a flat, open area. Phoenix Rock, the lowest of the Karasawa area crags, is right at the edge of the highway in this open area. The front face of the crag is fully exposed and should dry quickly. The steeper, left face is in the trees.
