BETA PHOTO: Tick Rock area: Suicide Rock

Description 

Up and to the looker's right from the crest of the approach to Tick Rock is the small crag of Suicide Rock.

Getting There 

Crest the trail a whoppin' 30 or so seconds from the car, and take the split in the trail to the right, towards the obvious crag. Hike up the loose, steep trail and be extra careful with your footing. Very short approach, but, take your time.
