Description

We headed out here a couple of months ago and found this area to be a fun destination. Shortish hike and no lines. After walking along the right side of the crag you come across an obvious entrance to a little clearing amongst the large pile. Look to the left you will see a right leaning thin crack leading to two bolts. We figured 10a. If you turned around 180 degrees and kept walking There is also a 1 bolt slab 100 yards away (Bartlett says 5.7).

I will clean this up a little if any info should spring up.

Getting There

On the way down the dirt road leading to stirrup tank you will see some crags off to the right of the main climbing area.

Hike as if you were going to mountainproject.com/v/calif… and keep walking west till you reach reach the crags.About a 20 min approach.
