Description 

This is the steep east-facing wall at the top of the Right Gully. It is above a huge chockstone in the gully.

L->R:

A. Perspective, 10, 1p, gear.
B. Extreme, 11, 1p, gear.
C. Erki Nool, 11+, 1p, 90', bolts.
D. Conan, 11+, 1p, 70', gear.
E. Devil's Rain, 10, 1p, gear.


Getting There 

Head up the gully past Jolt Cola and Vasodilator. Crawl through the giant chockstone at the top of a gully to a ledge.

An alternative approach is to climb Decade Dance or Aging Time, walk right on the top out ledge to its end, then rappel to beginning of Conan and Erki Nool.

This is a great place to while away half a day doing pitches in the 11+ range: Conan, Extreme and Erki Nool are all excellent and of comparable difficulty.
