Description
This is the array of short rocks just to the north of the parking area at McGraw Ranch / Cow Creek Canyon. All the routes are less than 600 feet in length. The front-most, pear-shaped rock is Pulpit Rock. There is more rock there than just Pulpit Rock that merits the wander. Overall, the rock is generally slabby; however, there are steep to overhanging features here and there. There is even 5.12 terrain for the adventurous. Don't expect a lot of bolts once past Pulpit Rock. You may have to figure out descents if you climb here.
So far, we have a couple handful of routes/variations (40) listed here. There's more in the works.
This area can have ticks in the spring. Do your tick checks.
5/14/13: Sadly, I have to report that some misguided folks have proceeded to chop and remove bolts, anchors, and rappel anchors from a number of routes (10+) put up by a number of climbers (5+).
