Description Suggest change

Sunny, scenic and almost never another soul up there. Rock Quality is top notch, and landings are almost all great. Classics include Airfield Arete (V7), Punxsutawney Phil (V6), and The Shadow (V10). There is also a smattering of other fun problems in the V1-V4 range.  

Getting There Suggest change

Park as for Mad Meadows / Playground Point. Walk up past The Hole and the SpongeBob Squarepad Boulder, then up and around Playground Point. A trail continues up a short distance further to beautiful boulders. 20-25 minute approach.
