A west-facing wall, with funky rock. The 3 routes are bolted here, but 2 of them are hard leads regardless. The rock is quartzite, I guess. It doesn't look like quartzite. It kind of looks like granite--speckled rock. It is rounded like granite, and it flakes like granite. Maybe it is granite. Hell, I don't know. What I do know, is that it doesn't climb like quartzite. Rounded flaky holds with lots of slopers, coupled with inverted climbing. Not an easy location.
Getting There
About 15 minutes up canyon from the fork in the trail, beyond "The Cave", you will approach an area with cliffs on the left. There will be a small fire ring remnant, and a clearing up in the trees. The wall is just north of the clearing.
