Description Suggest change

Lower Smoking Section has short and scruffy single pitch climbs including a few hard slab and crack testpieces. The far right routes near the top of the approach trail begin near a big, overhanging, right-facing, shade boulder.

The four routes Pink Lung, Carcinogen, Surgeon General, and Nicotine all share the same anchor.

Getting There Suggest change

See the Sheep Rock description. The topo pic locates the routes.
