Description 

Sunny and shady sides. Good quality rock. Not as popular as many areas. Secluded (from people, not the road).

The sunny side (east) currently sports a lovely bee's hive in the north most big pocket. This currently makes most of the east routes at least a grade more difficult (due to the one handed bee slapping)!

Descent
The south side has a tenuous sequence starting above the SW corner then down and right (facing the rock) using an undercling to the knobby face - perhaps a pad and spotter.


Getting There 

Follow the trails around to the north side of Stoney Point. This boulder is located right at the edge of the giant concrete pour area by the train tracks and has a tree growing on it's west side.

Beta for West Side of Carousel Rock. Route 2 is 'Face and Crack' V0. Routes 4 and 5 are variations of 'Center Route' V0. My favorite is Route 1, which combines Face and Crack and Center Route into a traverse with a nice finish. Still V0.

Yeah that concrete monstrosity around the railroad tunnel entrance is a bloody envoronmental disaster.

This used to be a pretty nice spot.
