Description Suggest change

To the east of the Main Slab is a large amphitheater capped by a giant roof. This area currently contains 3 crack routes, 2 mixed routes, and other. There is potential for a lot more development.

Getting There Suggest change

Approach 1: walk past the Main Slab to the east, about 100 yards. You can't miss it.

Approach 2: rappel 35 meters from the anchors of Blood Bought Bride all the way to the base of the Amphitheater. The anchors are located just under the prominent square block at the top of the crag. This one's an airy rope stretcher and isn't to be missed!

Approach 3: with a 60-meter rope, rappel from the anchors atop Unknown 5.9 to the top anchors of Liken I angling to the right to find them.
