Description
Leopold is the pretty, lone dome on the north side of the reservoir. Home to a couple longer crack routes, some short, easy crack routes, and some good looking face/slab climbing of course. Climbing faces S/SE
Getting There
It took us 2 hours in spite of all the various guides simply stated 1. pretty much all on a major trail though.
From Crane Lake TH, follow the main trail until just after it crosses Nelson creek. Turn right on a smaller trail (really easy to miss sign) and follow while it stays close to the res. and then into the woods. Continue on and cross Helms creek. Shortly after you'll hit the jeep road and turn left (north). Soon enough you'll be able to look up at the southeast face of Leopold. Pick a line through the woods to the base.
