Description
This gorgeous amphitheater is home to one of the hardest climbs at the red. Beautiful tall lines abound in the upper grades, this crag is worth a visit. Home to 50 Words for Pump, No Redemption and Ultra-Perm.
Getting There
Head down Bald Fork Road, which turns to gravel, and has a steep downhill. At the bottom of the hill, you'll pass the parking area on the right for The Motherlode. Remain on the road for a total of 1.4 miles (0.6 miles past the Motherlode parking) until you see a wooden sign indicating the RRGCC parking area on the left. This is the Bob-Marley/Drive-By/Chica parking area. Park here and walk back out to the road. Cross the road and head straight up a gravel road for 0.2 miles to reach the trail which cuts left and uphill to the wall. Approach is ~7min. Drive-By and Bob Marley are connected via a trail along the cliffline.
