Cool featured rock on Seal Rock. Warren Teissier approaches the upper portion of the route.

This is the route we took, with approximate belay locations and the rap chains. Climbing more to the right at the start would have been more aesthetic, perhaps, but there didn't appear to be very good pro, so we stuck to the trees.

This shows the trail that you should take to get to the Seal from the NCAR parking lot.
Base of the route. Correct start will be on the northeast of the formation. If you continue up the trail to the left, beware starting up the seal on the southeast of the formation as this is the detached formation The Pup.
Said feeling the exposure on Seal Rock.

North face rappel station as of 15Aug09. Sorry for the weird perspective.
The obvious climber's trail that leads up to Seal Rock. Cairned when we were there.
