Description Suggest change

This is sharply-broken volcanic rock (an Osiris Welded Tuff) forming the two bands of cliffs (east and west facing). Look for a large scree field(and then drive a 1/4 mi. more) passing the Lower Jungle parking and up to the next hair pin. There are numerous long cracks and face climbs.

Check or print the Topo below.

Getting There Suggest change

From Pine Lake, continue on road (132) for 5.9 miles until Powell Point jeep trail on right(143),GO PAST THIS ROAD and set odometer again and travel 1.9 miles past Powell Point jeep trail and PAST THE UPPER JUNGLE SCREE FIELD (looks like a single-car pullout on a hairpin turn). Just a bit up the road look for a parking area on right (The Lower Jungle), and continue around the corner up the road 100 meters to the "Upper Jungle" (well marked). Short approach DOWN to the crag marked by cairns all along the way.
