Description
Dork Dot Rock is a short, east-facing, quartzite rock with one anchor serving two routes. It is mostly vertical and reasonably solid with a few holds that may break off with more traffic. The routes are closely bolted and the climbing is on positive edges with several sidepulls.
The face is in the shade in the late afternoon so it probably is a good evening crag in the summertime.

Getting There
The rock is located on the north side of the canyon approximately opposite and uphill from The Kitchen. To get there, cross the stream bed near the concrete chlorine treatment building and slog up a scree trail. Near the top of the scree there is a faint but obvious trail heading left. Take the trail to the base of Dork Dot Rock.
