BETA PHOTO: North Wall of The Y


Description 

The north side of the Y hosts most of the climbs in this area. This side of the cliff is sunny for most of the day in the summer, but is shaded in the winter because the sun is low enough to be obscured by the south side of the canyon.

Routes left of (06) Triple Overhang are generally considered no-no's because of petroglyphs in this section.


Getting There 

The North side of the Y is the cliff whose top you come to by hiking south 1 minute from the parking along the highway. To drop into the Y, go to the east, and find a 3rd class downclimb.
