Description Suggest change

A couple of quality boulders with easy access via a small trail that is around a 30 second walk from the parking area. Established problems range from v0-v4, with a definite possibility for harder problems, especially on the Backbone Roof.

Getting There Suggest change

Park at the pull-off just before you get to Backbone Rock. Cross the road and look for the easy-to-miss staircase that leads down to a small, barely maintained trail. This trail takes you to several boulders, with the first rock being around 50 feet from the road, but partially blocked from sight during the summer due to the thick foliage surrounding it. The Backbone Roof is around a 2 minute walk once on the trail.
