Description

This is the slab, up high on the formation above the end of the Group Camp road.
It lies below and slightly northeast of The Empire Wall.
The routes here are short and poorly protected.
Big cams can be slotted in a groove behind the summit to set up a top rope for the 5.8 and 5.9 climbs.
The view from the top is nice, but I wouldn't call this a destination area.
