Williamson Rock is currently closed to climbing. MORE INFO >>>
Williamson Rock is under a temporary closure to all recreational uses, including climbing, pursuant to a ruling by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service that the area is critical habitat for the endangered yellow-legged mountain frog. Efforts by the non-profit organization Friends of Williamson Rock, in conjunction with the U.S. Forest Service, are underway to regain climbing access to Williamson. For information on the status of these efforts, and to learn how you can help, contact the Friends of Williamson Rock: williamsonrock.org
This information is a public crowdsourcing effort between the Access Fund,
and Mountain Project. You should confirm closures, restrictions, and/or related dates.
The Epitaph is the large blocky formation on the right shoulder of Williamson Rock, uphill from the Waterfall Wall and the Headwall. Epitaph is on the right before reaching the Pyramid.
Getting There
Hike up the slabs, uphill and right of the Headwall, for 75 yds. As the slabs taper down to yield a narrow gulley, the Epitaph is the formation on the right.
