Hmmm. Followed hiking upwards directions and somehow missed it. I hike at a good clip and 3h 15 min in from base of crabtree falls towards spy rock and no spy rock to be seen. I started early but had to be back home in the afternoon for an appointment so I cut my losses and turned around. I was probably .5 to .75 miles away but I couldnt do it. I was banking on the 6hrs from everyones reports I read which was my total time coming back down and I hustled down running some parts. Some absolutely stunning views in November but seemed like a lot of guts with not too much glory even if I made it to spy rock. I would have rather hiked Old Rag. If I come back Ill drive up to the meadows parking lot and make it a short hike to summit, but will honestly likely explore other places before I come back. I enjoyed the descent at Crab Tree Falls thr best.
