Rock, from the geologic map
Morrison, Wanakah, and Entrada Fms (Morrison Formation, Wanakah Formation, Entrada Sandstone) — sandstone, mudstone, claystone, minor limestone. Late Jurassic, about 157 to 150 million years old.
This is the map unit under this crag's map point, read from the 1:500,000 sheet (Horton and others, 2017, U.S. Geological Survey Data Series 1052). The point can be a few hundred metres from the rock, a cliff often stands on the line between two units, and at that scale a line on the map is about 500 m wide on the ground, so the wall itself may be the neighbouring unit. Every crag on this unit: Morrison, Wanakah, and Entrada Fms. Geology data: Macrostrat (CC BY 4.0), serving USGS and Colorado Geological Survey maps.

Access & safety
The map point for this crag is on land managed by San Miguel County Open Space Program (local government), in Society Turn Climbing.
The boundary is close. Land managed by San Miguel Conservation Foundation comes within 250 m of this point, and the point is not the rock — the wall itself may be on the other side of the line. Check which before you rely on either one's rules.
Land manager from USGS PAD-US (public domain), read 2026-09-29. It is the manager of the crag's map point, which can be a long way from the wall. What you may do on the rock is the manager's to say, not ours.
Nobody has yet read San Miguel County Open Space Program's own rules for this crag and written them down here, so treat the above as where you are, not as what you may do.

Distances are a straight line from this crag's map point, which can itself be hundreds of metres off; a road may be much longer. Mapped by OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL), so a toilet missing here may simply be unmapped. Parking here is what OSM has drawn nearby, not a guidebook's directions.
