Description Pitch 1. 5.10c. Beautiful, sustained, gently overhanging hands. Over graded in current guidebooks.
Pitch 2. 5.11c. challenging hands and fingers. As the crack peters out make a committing reach (dyno for the short) to a decent hold and pull over the arete. Very exciting, but safe with good pro.
Pitch 3. 5.5 easy slab climbing to the top.
Location High Plains Sector.
From pitch 10 of Angels Crest traverse ledge approximately 50 meters and scurry up short gully to spacious ledge.
Protection Double set of cams, 4-6 gold camalots for pitch one. No bigger than #3 camalot.
Awesome position, pitch one

| Don't mean to detract, but there's already a HPD entry under "Sheriff's Badge". Isn't the North Gulley the dividing line between the Sheriff's Badge and the North Walls? |

| Yes, that's true. I'll combine them (but not today). Thanks for pointing that out. |
