Southern Pacific Railroad owns the 200 feet of land on either side of the railroad. Do not drive or park vehicles near the railroad. Do not block the road which accesses the railroad. Park cars either on the dirt road near the gate at the end of Eagle Lakes Rd (do not block the gate or road). If this is full, park further down on Eagle lakes Rd. DO NOT WALK IN THE RAILROAD TUNNEL, walk on adjacent road.

Description

Stand on the boulder at the base of the cave and climb directly through the bouldery overhang. Avoid stemming on the left wall for the 5.11c variation. The route then follows the thin crack to the top.
