Description Suggest change

This north-facing 80-foot slab is directly across the river from the Wilford Roof area. It can be identified by a large, right-facing corner bordering the left edge of the slab and also an attractive-looking thin crack that diagonals up and left across the slab at approximately mid-height. Swift Rock is accessed by crossing the river, most easily accomplished by boulder hopping when the river is seasonally low. March and April seem to be good months to find low water conditions. Descent can be accomplished by rapping off slings around a large tree on top or by hiking down the gully immediately to the west and then reversing the river crossing.

Getting There Suggest change

Park at a large dirt pullout on the north side of the road, immediately below the Wilford Roofs area and approximately 1/4 - 1/2 mile uphill from the Infirmary Slabs. Cross the road and cross the river and a couple of minutes of uphill hiking finds the base of the crag.
