Papa Loves Jugs.

Description 

A small crag with only a handful of routes, nevertheless a great destination crag, or a great warm-up crag. Gets morning sun and has a few routes which are protected in the rain.

Getting There 

Park in the same area as for the Solar Collector / Gold Coast. The Far Side is uphill from the parking lot. Follow a winding dirt road up the hill from the parking lot to a cliff, then follow this right until you reach a notch in the cliff band. Dirty Sanchez follows the striking arete on the left wall.
