The route...

Description 

This adventurous crag is located to the north of Stripe Rock. There are two sections to the wall. The upper section has a number of long 5.9 routes, while the lower wall has a couple 5.10a trad lines. The best routes are probably the "Three Star Corner" on the lower wall and the "Old Route" on the upper tier.

Getting There 

This area is best approached by the Circle Creek overlook trail. Follow the trail north of Stripe Rock through the cattle gate. Follow the trail for another 200-300yds before heading up the hill to the rock.
