Description Suggest change

Okay, I'm gonna post this crag...mostly due to curiosity. I've asked around and no one that I've mentioned this crag to knows much about it. I went there with Dow Jopp, but he's in NC or somewhere (then AK, now MD). Now, it comes from notes from 1996, and the memories are blurred, but with this reorganization bit on BC, I've come across this curiosity again. So, if you know this crag, let me know.

Lying across Boulder Creek from Cenotaph, this small, slabby crag catches your eye when climbing at Cenotaph. It already had bolts, so it was known 10 years ago. It has at least 4 routes on it.

Lower, partly blasted rock (by the aqueduct):

A1. Bolted line, 11+/12-, 1p, bolts.
A2. Right-facing dihedral, 10a, 1p.

Above the aqueduct:

A. Blasted, 10+.

Across From Cenotaph:
A. Obscurity, 8, 3p.
B. Unknown Groove, 10, 1p, 130'?, gear or TR.
C. Black Groove, 9, 1p, 110'?, gear or TR.
D. Right Side, 8+, 1p, 130'?, gear.

Getting There Suggest change

Drive up to Cenotaph Crag, past Castle Rock. Park. Wade the creek. Wander up to the slab. 15 minutes for tortoises like me.

Per George Bracksieck: from Sky Cafe, I noticed that you could contour eastward for maybe 100 meters to "Across from Cenotaph."
