Description
The obvious first cliff on the right when approaching from Fish Lake.
The granite cliffs are of excellent quality, and offer a wide range of slabs, faces, corners and cracks.
Note this is NOT a family (small children) or pet friendly crag due to the boulder field approach (3rd Class PG13). The whole area is somewhat wild, so helmets are advised. Expect to meet the occasional rattle snakes from April to October.

Getting There
About 13 miles south of Loomis, or 22 miles from Tonasket via the southern route - 12.1 miles from Hwy 97 at the South Pine Creek turnoff.
At the turnoff to Conconully and Fish Lake (after the road becomes gravel) continue north on Sinlahekin Road for 2.3 miles towards Loomis and park along the road when the cliffs are visible on the right (0.5 miles after the small camp ground on the right). Don't forget your Discover Pass...
A less than 5 minute walk gets you to the base of the huge boulder field, with another 15-30 minute scramble (PG13 3rd Class) to the base of the cliffs.
