Description
Across the road from and facing King Otto's Castle is this north-facing crag with several good routes. The approach is easy and takes about 10 minutes at most.
Begin on a ramp leading to a thin crack 50' down and left from a striking thin crack/corner system (The Falcon, 5.10b). Above follow three bolts up a slabby face to a bolted anchor/rap.
Located very close to the campground proper, but you'd never guess it from the lack of traffic. Well worth the short walk to climb in the shade especially on those warmer days when shade is an option.
Protection
3 bolts, gear to 1.5", bolted anchor/rap
