Description

This large formation just to the south of Cap Rock has a few nice routes on it. A paved nature trail surrounds the formation and passes by several bouldering routes. The routes are all easily identified and the short approach and easy walk from Ryan campground (1/4 mile NW) make this area a good one if your stuck without a car.

Getting There

From the Cap Rock parking lot, the large, central rock pile just to the south is John Yablonski Rock. The rock pile is on the interior of the Cap Rock Nature Trail. The low angled slab containing Hartman (5.5) is easily visible from Cap Rock and is reached by taking the left fork of the trail.
