The Tombstone
Description:
Steep, tall, narrow crag above Skid Row and east from Sunrise crags. Hidden gem in the woods - doesn't get much traffic. Great place to go when Sunrise is crowded with gorbies.
Directions:
From east side of Sunrise, head east horizontally on the trail into the forest toward Skid Row, but instead of trending down to Skid Row, take the less-travelled upper fork. Tombstone is the tall narrow crag with 2 routes so far. Looking up, the left side, sport bolted route is the Grim Reacher, grade=PDH, moderate start and finish but 2 tough, reachy moves to reach the upper slab. The right side route, trad finger crack then upper bolts and a rusty piton, is Nail In The Coffin, a great moderate.
