Description

Down and left of (k) Untch Rock is this small, south-facing formation situated low on the hillside with a minimal approach. A handful of scrappy routes on so-so rock are found here with Molly (5.6) perhaps the best of the bunch.

Getting There

Standard approach from the parking area and when Untch Rock comes into view work up and left to the base of the formation which is partially obscured from view by some pine trees. The approach takes about 5 minutes from the parking area.
