Description

There are a few cracks located on this formation, above the slab and ledge.

Getting There

From the parking lot walk the normal trail to granite mountain. At the sign stating you are a quarter mile to the parking lot, continue walking for about 10 minutes. Looking off the trail up and right there is a butt-crack looking formation, not too far away. There is also a shark tooth looking big flake feature on climbers right on the formation. Below the crag there is a smallish slab leading to a ledge. There is a drainage you can follow, which pretty much takes you right to the base of the slab. Takes about 15 minutes to be at the base.
