Description 

These are 5 huge wings that point towards the summit ridge S of Bear Peak just NE of South Boulder Peak. There is mention of these in Rossiter's guide; however, there seems little other documentation. These are big slabs. The 2nd from the L sports an 8 1/2 pitch (50m rope) climb. These must have been climbed over the years by others than us. Long walk but good adventure slabbing. In the winter these really do look like angel's wings.


Getting There 

From the Mesa Trail, find yourself below these giant slabs, N of Shadow Canyon, N of The Maiden, near the Flying Flatiron. This involves a significant bushwhack up the hill. From the top, you can traverse across to the top of Shadow Canyon and hike down the trail.

An interesting ice route sometimes forms on the Angel Wing at the top of the diagonal scree slope.
