Description 

The is the west face of the summit dome of the Sheep Rock mini-massif.


Getting There 

Two choices. One is to hike up the gully to Acid Rock, then scramble around the south side to the base of the summit dome and the Velcro Wall. The other is to do the Tour De Platte. From the top of Acid Rock, it is a bit of a scramble form the saddle down to the base of the Velcro Wall.
