An image of Jeremy Steck's upload superimposed on a google map. NOT TO SCALE. Like the map for Rob's Knobs, park at a parking lot. Its all uphill from the lower; downhill then uphill from the upper connected by Limestone Run Road. There is a clearing about 50 ft due south of the small bridge on the side of a hill; I fixed the cairns at the base of the clearing near the road. Go uphill to the south side of that clearing to find the old fire trail that is all uphill to the crag. Cairns should mark
The Brutal Block. The Face of Reality, 12a, goes up the clean face to the right of the Arete. The Matrix, 11c, climbs out the roof and then up the right facing corner which is now much cleaner than appears in the photo.

There are stacks all around that havent been developed yet. The bouldering possibilities for this area have not been tapped. This guy is as tall as anything in the main portion of Lost Crag, about 100yds north west of 'Bob Block'.
