Description Suggest change

Recently developed crag with mostly beginner or moderate sport routes. Helmets are advised as this area is still relatively new.

Many thanks to Tess Egan, Jason Robinson and Kye Egan-Robinson for developing this area. They built it out with families in mind and the bottom of has been well cleared. Please do not cut down any more trees. They provide excellent shade in the heat of summer. Avoid hiking around to the top of the crag to set up top-ropes since the easy routes on the far let provide safe, quick access to the top. Finally, we ask that guides not use this crag for large groups since it would make it impossible for anyone else to climb.

Getting There Suggest change

From 99, Turn onto Mamquam FSR east. Follow this for about two miles and turn left onto Powerhouse Springs FSR (unnamed on google maps). Less than one mile down the road you should come to a large boulder on the right. Go another 50 meters and the white crag is on your left. About a minute later you will be picking out a route.
