Annie toproping Scar Tissue

Description 

Creekside Crag is located just south The Anteater. The northeast corner of Creekside is called The Office. The Office's highlights are three excellent trad or mixed routes in the 10+/11- range on solid, non-slabby rock . This area is good for shade in the afternoon, but probably not for sun in the morning as it is in a little corridor, the east wall of which would likely keep the belayer in the shade. The Office seems to receive relatively little traffic so it makes a quick escape from the hubbub at Anteater and Morning Glory.

Getting There 

A couple of minutes walk south from Morning Glory or Anteater gets you there.
