Approach Outback Slab

This short 0.3-mile approach delivers climbers to Outback Slab, a less-trafficked climbing area that requires a bit of bushwhacking or route-finding to reach. The trail itself is minimal—more of a use path than a maintained route—and typical of the informal access trails that connect backcountry boulders and cliff bands throughout the Park. Expect uneven ground and limited signage once you leave established trails.
