These areas are often listed seperatly but they share an approch trail and are seperated from all other sections of the cliff but each other...This Area is often overlooked... For example i had done almost every classic up to 5.10 at Cathedral before even hiking up to check out this nice hidden corner... People climb here for sure but it doesn't see near as much traffic as the much easier to stumble upon Lower Left wall... When moderates on the popular walls are packed think about getting on Browns Fist 5.7+ or Lower Refuse 5.8... Or if its hard cracks you are looking for look no further, climbs here range from 5.7+ to 5.12d...
Rainy days can be a drag for crack climbers but here is one little ray of hope... The start of the beast is normally dry in the rain and offers two 5.10s with a convenient lower off or toprope anchor...
Getting There
Located on a ledge above a slab to the left of the start of Recompense, access this area by hiking toward that route and breaking left up a small trail which will lead you straight to the huge corner that holds Browns Fist... Scramble one ledge up and to your right and you will find your self standing in the belly of the Beast Alcove...
