Description 

This is a massive chunk of rock South of Asterisk Pass. One of the tallest portions of rock in the park, it host a fine collection of old school and modern multipitch climbs. There has been a fair amount of route development here in the past several years. The crag is logicaly broken into several different sections, East Face routes (White Satin), Northeast Face (Sky Ridge), Phoenix Buttress (described as it's own area on this site), The Southern Tip (Kunza Korner), The Northwest Face (Cull's in Space), Cod Rock (Sunset Slab) and The West Face (Wherever I May Roam).


Getting There 

Depends greatly on what you want to climb.
