Description
The Peyote Cracks Formation has 3 decent cracks on its west face - Left (5.10+), Middle (5.9), and Right (5.8) Peyote Crack. There are also a few face climbs. All of the routes are fairly short.
The east face of the formation is also known as the Bachar Toprope Wall and has an assortment of overhanging, difficult routes in the 5.12-5.13 range, including the 12a sport route Apartheid and the (generally toproped) testpiece Baby Apes (5.12c).
