Description 

Huge, right-facing dihedral (the bowsprit) with a large conifer at its base characterizes the furthest right portion of this area.


Getting There 

Same access as Hermosa, following trail up the glacial moraine. The trail from the moraine reaches the base of the cliffs at this dihedral. Left of Our Tidal Surge.
