This crag sits above above Happy Hour Crag, it contains steep crack routes and a few sport lines. The most famous route is the climb of the same name. This crag is not really that separate from Upper Security Risk, but the standard downclimb goes between the two formations.

There have been eagle nesting closures which have limited access to this crag in the Feb. 1 - July 31 timeframe.
