Getting There
Park next to Kriley Pond, then head up the switchbacked hiking trail that goes up the hill. Cut off directly uphill and some point and bushwhack to the ridge or locate some rock cairns and try to follow them. It is not a long approach in either case.
Eds. the park rangers are planning to determine a single access route to reduce the impacts of multiple social trails to this crag. Please be on the lookout for new signage to help preserve our access. Thank you.
