Big West Hanna

Description 

This is the farthest west formation in this area. It is on a rather south facing exposed hill side so it can be very warm especially in the summer. The majority of the climbs can be found on the east facing side. The east side has some beautiful cracks and spectacular roofs that strike an imposing contrast with the clear blue skys (no smog up here!) There are a few loose blocks around the base so be careful what you pull on or step on!

Getting There 

From the parking area head north to the top of the hill/ridge and then turn left (west) following the ridge (make sure you stay on the north side) follow the ridge around the two main summit blocks (these guys are small and don't offer that much spectacular climbing) you will come to the end of the ridge and you will start to head down. the last formation you see on the side of the hill is where you need to be.
