The naming of this formation could have gone something like this:
Climber 1 - “I just did this amazing climb today!”
Climber 2 - “Where was it, I’ll check it out tomorrow…”
Climber 1 - “It’s over on that rock by the parking lot.”
Climber 2 - “Oh, Parking Lot Rock…” 

There are restrooms at the parking lot here and trailheads for several poplular trails.
