Description
It's weird that at Rumney there is a crag that hasn't seen much traffic, and it is 150+ in height without the lower ledges of broken rock grooves to trees and dangerous steep dirt slopes included.
The middle of the crag is high mica content and some dangerous finned rock protrusions similar to the Hinderland's crag's content. These mica rock fins were once in middle of the route 'Jolt'. The dangerous fins were taken out and dropped below.
The upper part of Wonderland is lichen covered with better or usual Rattlesnake rock quality directly up and west. There is a long white Quartz extrusion here on the east side. East to this Quartz extrusion is a 40ft high dike. The opposite wall of the dike is a very steep bulging lichen free section 50ft high. The dike and this wall begin below at a protrusion of rock with pine trees above that. The big fire lit the crag's upper east side a little. Couldn't see any of the western upper side of this crag.
Not a place for everyone or for that matter anyone yet unless you are experienced in this kind of climbing at Rattlesnake. It's Wonderland it's an adventure. The hiking trail is directly below this crag. I listed it as Alpine because of the lichen covered sections, the soft mica quality rock in some places and the inability to loose control of any loose rocks.

Getting There
Hike towards the Hinderland's. The crag begins at the hand crack called Wrong Crack. Above that is a gully and left of the gully a steep ramp wall. Left of that is a large protrusion of rock and above that a wall that looks more like stacked boulders. 'Giant Man' buttress is above this area or left of it on the highest hillside section of Wonderland. This is where there used to be ladder to go down onto a ramp ledge with a eye bolt and trees. The climb 'Rocket Science is here. Nothing has been replaced to assist entry to this side yet.
