Go back to Albany Day Two.
So the following day, we drove about 45 minutes inland to the guidebook-described trailhead for the Gibraltar formation. We should’ve consulted the more up to date online beta as opposed to relying on the guidebook. Though that would’ve denied us a 1.25h bushwhack (aka a herping safari). The fully bolted Raven route, a 6-pitch 15, was easy but fairly scenic and included a belay inside a large cave. We opted to rap vs. hiking off the top. Really, the climbing was the easiest part of the day. On the hike down, we picked a direct heading for the car – might as well bushwhack in a straight line – and stumbled onto a nicely flagged climbers’ path cutting the hiking time in half.
