BETA PHOTO: The right hand end of this little wall


Description 

Maybe even closer to the road than Stettner's Rocks. A quiet location with a few great lines in the 5.8-5.11 range. A great warm up on your way up to the hard stuff at White Wall.


Getting There 

Park at CCC and walk East on the road, to the Quarry entrance. Walk a little left of the Quarry road, and where it turns right, you bear left under the first boulder field. Scramble up through the trees, gaining a couple hundred feet of elevation, then go left to the first substantial rock.

Hidden Buttress is worth doing a bit while passing on to the higher crags BUT the top-out is overgrown with weeds during the summer.
Approach from the CCC lot, and head NE into the woods at the point when the road starts to descend the hill. Go to the east side of the open talus field and it is straight up, it IS slightly "hidden"!
White Wall can be found by going under the huge chockstone at the west end of this crag.
