Essential crag checks
Access, closures, permits & safety
From the parking vicinity, take the pine-tree path left of the toilets rather than the main Desolation Wilderness trail. Continue via the old road and uphill path, then the talus; the specialist guide estimates about ten minutes.
Parking capacity, fees and road access can change. Confirm current conditions before departure.

The final approach crosses talus. The right side faces east and typically shades around noon; the southeast-facing left side stays sunny longer. Routes range into difficult overhanging terrain, so choose a route and descent appropriate to ability and equipment.
Closures and permit rules can change without notice. Recheck the official land manager before departure.

About this crag
From the Eagle Creek Canyon parking vicinity, take the uphill approach through the pines and old road, then the path and talus to the wall. The right side loses sun earlier than the left, so aspect matters when choosing a cool- or warm-weather session.
Recommended equipment
Bring equipment appropriate to the climbing style and local conditions. A helmet is strongly recommended.
