Description
This formation lies across the canyon from The Citadel. Several routes are located on the south and west faces and are described in a topo published in an old Rock&Ice. The relatively easy approach and descent make it a good destination for a relaxing daytrip.
Getting There
Approach via the Topp Hutt rd and the trail which leads into Rabbit Ears Canyon (see The Citadel for details). It is easy to spot the wall and the routes on the South Face from the approach trail. Once in the canyon, follow faint trails/bushwhack directly up to the face. Long pants are advisable. Expect 1-2hrs for the approach depending on how far along the Topp Hut rd you can drive.
The descent from all routes is via a gully on the South side of the formation. 3 2-bolt rappel stations are 85', 70' and 50' apart. 2 single-rope rappels suffice (skipping the last station) to get to some lower angled rock, where one can carefully scramble down to the base (4th class).
