Ignore this one!  Sorry.

Getting There Suggest change

The approach starts at the Jericho Trailhead on Echo Lake Road and takes about 10 minutes.  Note that the trailhead has been relocated to the west and now starts at a small parking area (see picture).  The power company uses the yellow gate so don't block it.  There is additional parking in a dirt pull-out on the opposite side of the road.  Pick up the trail just past the yellow gate.  Follow the blue blazes east (right).  The trail leads directly past the top of the cliff (look to your right). There is a steep, loose approach gully to the bottom on the climber's right (far) side of the cliff. If you come to a road or clearing for the power lines you have gone too far.
