Located above McLeod Lake, Mammoth Crest is the prominent wide-ranging wall that can be seen from the town of Mammoth Lakes. Here you will find a quiet alpine wall that features routes ranging from 2-3 pitches. There are 6 different sections of this wall with “Sector 4” being located near the center of the formation. Approach from the Horseshoe Lake parking area, which is located within a deforested area where volcanic grasses have killed the trees. Follow Mammoth Pass Trail until reaching the trail junction. Take the trail that leads to McLeod Lake. After reaching the lake, skirt the outside of the lake to the south end. Hike up through the talus field to reach a small cliff band. From here head up and right to the base of the wall. To reach Sector 4, head southeast (left) along the base of the formation.
