Lost Horse Wall - Right Side.
Photo by Blitzo.

Description 

A minimal approach and a dozen or more multi-pitch routes from 5.5 to 5.11c (most are 5.10a and under) combine to make this an immensely popular crag. West-facing and exposed which means morning shade, afternoon sun and open to the prevailing winds - not the best place to be when it's windy.

The Swift (5.7), Dappled Mare (5.8), Bird on a Wire (5.10a) are some of the more popular routes here.

Getting There 

Approach from along the Lost Horse Road and follow a worn trail along the base of the wall. Plan on 5-15 minutes for the approach.
