Description
All day sun
South
The perfect crag for a cold and sunny day with routes from easy to steep and long in the high 5.12 range. As so many crags at the Red it is crescent shaped with some part in the sun any time of the day.
Access issues inherited from Miller Fork Recreational Preserve
The RRGCC received grant money from the Access Fund to help make a $45,000 down payment, and has a plan in place to make five yearly mortgage payments of $40,000, after which the RRGCC will own the MFRP, securing climbing access on that land in perpetuity.
Approach
Gentle
10-20 min
From the main parking area cross the creek and walk down the road until reaching the second road on the left. Walk down this road, passing the obvious trailhead on the right leading to Serenity Point, until reaching a road on the right which crosses a creek. This road is marked by a muddy parking area just before the main road angles right and continues uphill to the Deep End. Cross the creek and continue down this muddy road for about five minutes until the road severely breaks down near a stream. At his point look for a trail on the right which winds uphill to The Infirmary. You will meet up with the wall near a gigantic boulder and the route named Trephination.
