| - FIVE STARS if you climb to the top.
Three stars if you just stroll to the hole in the wall
Not to rain on any one's parade, but I think yelpers would reconsider their 4 star rating if they checked out the view on top the rock.
I do not believe climbing to the top is quite sanctioned, given there is no official trail.
A word of caution of course. If you are an abled bodied, clear minded, and careful soul, it should take you no more than 15 minutes from the easiest starting point. Half the fun is figuring it out. As the peep on top of the rock instructed me, find your "adventurous spirit," and you will find a way to the top. If you think your route is too tough, it probably is. This climb definitely requires shoes with good grip, don't even consider it if you have any doubts about your shoes.
It is a challenging climb for the novice, and probably a sneeze for the most experienced mountain climber, regardless the view is well worth it. Spoiler alert in my attached pic.
As for the non climbing experience straight to the hole, the nature walk is easy. Even the most non adventurous can make it. If your company needs convincing, just tell them, if they can walk up one flight of stairs, they have met the physical requirements.
Ideal trek for both the afternoon stroll or a simple climb. I will bring all my acceptably fit friends to the top.
Car door to top of the rock to car door time : 1 hour.
Car door to hole to car door time: 30 minutes.
