DescriptionSunny and South facing. If the wind is blowing you can climb there in late June as we did. This wall was originally aid climbed by E.C. Joe. Herb Laeger has really developed it with a number of folks over the last ten years or so. Great rock and no lines.

Probably one of the finest face pitches I have climbe...[more] Browse More Classics in CA
