Description Suggest change

Nearly 50 climbs are found in the sub alpine area around 1000ft above the highway. The crags found here include, Chainsaw Wall, Peannicle Wall, Lost Resort, Alpina, Presto Palace, Slumbersome Ridge and the Stein.

Getting There Suggest change

From the parking lot head west on the old railroad grade looking for a trail on the left cutting into the trees. Follow this up and past several crags for about 2 miles (45 minutes) or so looking for an orange colored wall a hundred feet or so above and left of the trail. Shortly after this take the left fork up and around the orange wall (Chainsaw Wall) to Bob's.
