(70') Rack to #4 Camalot Rappel 110 feet from webbing around a boulder on the NE corner. This was the first known ascent of the route as well as the formation, which Quentin had been eyeing up from his parent's house a few miles away since he was a boy. You can see this volcanic plug from the front porch.
Location
From Red Rock Trading Post, head east on Hwy-13 to the first left (N63). Take this north for about 7.5 miles. Turn left onto an unsigned dirt road (Route 5024). Turn left again onto a two-track and drive directly to the volcanic plug. This route climbs the west face of it. The big boulder to the left of this route/formation has also been done.
