Approach
The parking is off the highway across from the Preacher's Point South camping area. Look for a marked trail in the trees, and follow a loosely beaten trail and flagging all the way to the crag. Follows an existing trail up Flag Hill, but cuts left at a fallen tree.
Crag Details
Getaway is a new edition on Mt. Ernest Ross where it has the multipitches on Freyja Wall as neighbours. This sport climbing crag features 29 routes currently with room for more expansion. The climbing is a mixture of technical face climbing and slabby delicate footwork, and has grades from 5.6 to 5.12a.
Full beta for this crag is contained within, "Rock Climbs in the David Thompson Corridor" by Tim Taylor and Brian Olstad of the David Thompsons Climbers Association. Check your local climbing store for a copy.
Routes are listed left-to-right below. Disneyland is out to the left from the entrace, Gnome Wall and Daytrip Wall are where you arrive at first from the approach trail, and Apres Wall is further to the right.
