Let's meet at the Meadow parking lot ready to start walking at 4:30pm. If you are arriving later, meet us at the crag. We will climb until sunset.
Directions to the crag:
From the Meadow lot, hike the Dines Meadow trail for .3 miles until it intersects the Mason Creek trail. Turn left and follow the Mason Creek trail northeast past the climbing access trail for the Dines Cliff. Eventually you will see a cascade in the creek where the water runs over a 30ft long slab of granite. Above this cascade you will see a sign on your right that says "Raven Climbing Area". Follow this trail for 150 ft to the base of the crag.
