Description
Smaller slab below sector 6.
The rock face is roughly 35-60 feet tall. Faces ENE.
Top-Roping: Usual way is to Lead one of the bolted routes of this sector. There is a bolts-with-ring anchor on knob above right from top of Central Gully route. There are also trees or bushes above top of wall which could be used for a natural anchor with a static line and/or long slings.
There are two directional bolts below climber's Right from the Central Gully bolts-with-ring top anchor, which could help reduce side-swing impact in case a climber falls while on Top-Rope belay on the routes to the right of the route Central Gully.
There are also two directional bolts below climber's Left from the Central Gully bolts-with-ring top anchor, which could help reduce side-swing impact in case a climber falls while on Top-Rope belay on some the routes to the right of the route Central Gully. But not much help for the route "Left Gully" or any climbing to left of that.
. . . (Another way to reach the top is to first go to the diagonal ramp along the base (or middle) of sector 6. Hike Left up that - with some vegetation and loose rock then some scrambling to reach near its top. Next scramble horizontal Left a short ways, then down a bit onto slope above top of cliff).
Name: Richard "Dick" Erb, after somehow climbing the Disneyland Matterhorn, and a new route in Yosemite valley, moved to the Eastside and was a long-time enthusiastic June Mountain ski patroller.
warning: The rock in this sector has not been climbed much yet, and some of the rock is still breakable and loose -- so the belayer and other people should stand far away from underneath the climber.

Getting There
Hiking approach: First follow the instructions on the Silver Lake area description page to reach sectors 3-6. Hike up left passing left under gully coming down from the left side of the mini-peak Silverhorn (at the top of sector 8) and continue a short ways left under some broken "scrambling" rock. Then find a way to scramble up diagonal left about ten or twenty feet, then hike up diagonal right to the base of this sector.
Or lead a route in the Trail Slab part of sector 7, then hike/scramble horizonta left to base of this sector.

Time + effort estimate: From north end of parking lot to the base of this sector is about +150 vertical feet over 0.15 mile distance (+46m over 0.24km), so typical range of hiking times 7-14 minutes.
