Getting There

From below –

Please do not pass around the front of the Ranger’s Cabin when accessing this crag. The lower service road is accessed by first climbing the Mine trail up through the creek drainage until reaching the pathway between the cabin and the quarry. Turn left at the broad path intersection above the creek crossing and walk down to the service road (300 yds…) THAN turn right and walk 250 yds to the first turnoff (on the right) Here begins the approach path to the Near Side crag. The goal is to not disturb the ranger at his residence by walking by the front entrance of the cabin on the service road !

From above – look for trail about 150 yards west of Silverado mine. Take switch backs and scramble down to crag.
