Description 

This wall has three rarely climbed routes. Most people that are this far into the park usually keep going to Windy Point. I only included Winged Messenger as it was the only route that had enough info to warrant an entry/only one worth climbing.


Getting There 

Go up through the gap to the left of Tarzan, walk through the gully on the other side and up through the gap in the next rock. First route is on the right.

Shiprock stands by itself from the main cliff area. Stay to its left up the gully and then down the other side. When you get to the north end of Shiprock just keep walking north along the cliffs untill you pass between the main cliffs and another buttress. When you have reached the north end you made it to The Flying buttress. Now turn right and look for the bolts.
