Description 

Paradise for technical 5.11 slab climbing. The must-do route here is David Tidwell's three pitch The Imaginator (5.11c). There are also a harder routes of similar quality by Jerry Handren called Dominatrix (5.12b), and Young Marble Giants (5.12d).


Getting There 

Traverse along the base of the cliff toward the left, passing some bolted projects, up a steep slope, down, and then up again until you come to an impressive and distinct area of Gray rock. This is the Central Slab Area.
