Description Suggest change

The first band contains mostly hard sport routes (5.12 and up) and a couple moderates on the far right, but the rock is very rotten on that end.

Getting There Suggest change

From the approach gully, look for a small cairn after you become level with what looks like climbable rock to the right. If you look off up and to the right, you will see a lot of bolts on bulges and overhangs.

Step off the main gully, going slightly down and over precariously loose terrain to the base of the ledge. Find a fixed line, and use it gain the ledge proper. The follow more fixed lines along the base of the climbs until the ledge becomes wider and safer.
