Description

An intensely glacier-polished orange cliff arranged in two tiers with crack, slab and friction climbs rated between 5.7 and 5.12b. Sunny in the afternoons, but it's above timberline, so can be cold and windy on bad days.

Getting There

Walk east out the Ellery Dam Mining Road another quarter mile past the wide flat top of the Demonology dihedral, then wander up and right through heather and dwarf trees until you reach a small alpine meadow at the base of a broken orange cliff band. This is the Dinosaur Crag.
