Description Suggest change

This is a great crag set in the trees with steep overhanging routes. Some routes even stay dry in the rain. There is also some great bouldering.

Getting There Suggest change

Old access: From the Old Sandstone area, drive East .4 mile, park, and walk West along the road to a faint trail leading up and West to crag.

It is also possible to park at the Old Sandstone/Roznos Meadow parking, hike up to the Old Sandstone, then hike East to the New Sandstone.
