Description

A collection of robust and engaging moderate classics and a few routes for the aspiring crusher such as Direct Afraid.

Jugular Vein, Second Sun, and Blonde Ambition are absolutely worth the walk.

Getting There

From Sunset Rock, descend to the Bluff Trail. Take a left (Climber's right if you're looking up at the Rock) and walk for twenty to thirty minutes depending on pace.

The hardest part about finding this area is resisting the urge to stop at the Treasure Chest, Celebrity Flake, or the Deck Party.
