Sentinel Area

This area boast the best crack climbs in the interstate park with it's summit being one of the highest points in the valley. The Yosemite theme abounds here due to its slim resemblance to routes and features at Yosemite National Park.

Access from the bottom:  Park at the potholes trail parking lot and walk south and down the hill along the stone retaining wall. On the right is a pathway through the wall and a historical marker. Leave the road here and pick up the trail continuing down the hill and down river. Follow the trail to the river, past a talus field, and then up into the Sentinel Area. Lost Ego will be the first climb you come across. Use the unsteady gully to the left and around to get to the top of Lost Ego and the start of Sentinel and Yosemite Crack.

Access from the top: Take the Summit Rock Trail to the top of the sentinel. Carefully downclimb south. People die here.
