Brittsan Rock is a low angled slab wall where (with road access) you can drive and park along the top edge of the formation. It is the original formation where climbing began at the Callahans when everyone was climbing in Converses. Trees soon grew and shaded the wall until it began requiring quite a bit of annual volunteer effort to keep clean. Now within the expanding clearcut, it is again back in full sun. This area has five established bolted routes ranging from 5.2 to 5.6 that if cleaned with restored access would again make for a great children's wall.
