Bring your I-pod so you can jam your way thru the 95 switchbacks and 4,100 ft of elevation gain to get this one.
Your searching for a small loc-n-loc, located about 35' off the end of one of the last switchbacks, just below remnants of the old Rock Mountain Fire Lookout, where an L-4 cabin stood watch over the area from 1933 to 1973.
The main approach is right off of highway 2, and is rumored to have 95 switchbacks and gains about 4,100' in 4.4 miles. I didn't count, but have no problem believing.
Secondary approach is via Snowy Creek and is supposed to be much easier, but thats a relative term. You'll still have to get past the 3,300 ft gain which switchbacks it's way up the west face.
