Description Climb up the left edge of the broad orange buttress above the vegetated terrace (Upper Tier) above the Grotto and west of the Java Wall. Climb the left most route passing interesting pockets around the edge to a final steep bulge. Sustained and pumpy moves to the top.
Location Located on The Upper Tier, scramble up the gully left of the arete of "Bushed Coyote." Short, but rather unpleasant.
Protection 5 bolts to chain anchors.

| Fun climb with good holds most of the way. The problem is that there are several "decoy" holds on this route that look good from below but end up being nothing. The route can get pumpy while searching around for the correct holds. |

| "Welcome To Echo Cliffs" and "Reverb" are listed at the Left Flank in the 2003 guidebook by Louie Anderson, but at the time there were no other climbs on The Upper Tier, so these routes were listed with those in the Left Flank. With the subsequent establishment of nine more climbs on the cliff band above The Grotto, adjacent to "Welcome To Echo" & "Reverb," this area was dubbed "The Upper Tier," as this is a distinct area separate from the Left Flank, as you probably discovered. |

| Tyler....if you would read the previous post of Feb. 24, 2010 you'll see an explanation regarding the location of " Welcome to Echo" on The Upper Tier. Good on you if you can find it on the Left Flank. |
