Neon Rock

A great tower with two crack routes. The tower is dead vertical overall, with off-vertical climbing in the beginning and overhanging ground on the upper part. The climbing consists of incut jugs/edges and a wonderful variety of crack widths. If you climb both routes you will find fingerlocks, finger jams, hand jams, cupped hands, and even some bomber fist jams. The rock is the typical Windy Point grainy, sharp granite, so I would recommend taping up or or the backs of your hands will get pretty shredded.

If you want to set up a toprope on Mind Flash, continue lookers-right from the base and you can scramble around to the top. There are cold shuts at the top of Mind Flash on a small little ledge. If you're super brave, you could carefully scramble to the cold shut anchors, but it would be pretty risky. A safer choice would be to rap off one of the two large trees up top to reach the anchor, then set up your toprope. Toproping directly from the anchors would be a bit of a rope-grinder; I would recommend some long slings or some static rope to lower your master point below the lip.

To set up a toprope on A Touch of Evil, you would need a static rope to tie off to the large tree set back from the edge. Bring a rope protector for the sharp edge, the grainy granite found here will chew up your ropes in a hurry.
