Far right side of the wall.

Description 

Tucked away, high in the gulley, between Hanging Chain wall and the lower angled slab walls on the far left of Rumbley proper. Passed over by previous explorers, in favor of other adventures.

Getting There 

Walk through the the boulder field. Cross the gulley. Go about 100 more feet on the Hanging Chain trail and locate a cairn. Head up about 150 feet and locate the overgrown logging rd. This winds its way up the ridge to the left of the gulley. Follow this up past the steeeep part to the nose of the ridge. Go straight up the nose of the ridge where you eventually hit a short overhanging bulge. Stay under and right, cross the gulley and the wall looms above.
