Morning sun, evening shade, off the beaten path, short approach

Getting There Suggest change

On the north end of the Bald Mountain Trailhead parking lot, a dirt road leads up to and past a green gate. Walk 80ft past the gate and veer left at a cairn. Follow cairns through sparse trees to the edge of the talus. The Cobra will be in view.

 Follow cairns straight across talus to a medium sized boulder directly below the Cobrazone. This should be an easy 10-15 min approach. Harness up here and then climb the first pitch of Caging the Cobra 5.7 (you should see the bolts, 5 bolts) with your packs to gain the huge ledge (Chip and Dale Ledge) then take your shirt off and make yourself comfortable. 

You have now entered the Cobrazone.
