Description

This is a long, low formation with a few good quality routes. The cliff is fairly sheltered and sunny in the afternoon - not a bad place to go on a cold day.

The cliff is located just NW of the second paved pullout on the right past the Boy Scout (Willow Hole) parking area when driving into the park.

Descent - West Face - Right (the section with She's So Unusual): scramble off easy terrain just behind the belay to the east and a quick walk around to the front (west) side.

Descent - West Face - Left (the section with Excitable Boy): there are a few options, but scramble with an easy downclimb to reach the jumbled boulders off the east side, then make your way down, working to the left (north) end of the crag, where you can then do a short walk around and back to the west side.
