Description

It's a ways on, back yonder.

This cliff line didn't see any ascents when the rest of Staunton Rocks was seeing attention. Some brief exploration revealed the possibility of some long, slabby climbs though their quality is unknown. Those with an adventurous spirit should give this place a look and help round out the routes at Staunton Rocks.

Getting There

The best access is likely achieved by hiking up to the Marmot Tower from the Dungeon access. Once you hike up to the Marmot Tower, traverse the hillside to the west, heading for the obvious cliff band.

Per Alex A: from the Climbing Access Trail, take the Marmot Tower Trail till you come to the Back 40 Trail. This brings you to the base of Back 40, and the trail splits. Going right brings you to the Overlook.
