Description Suggest change

The Winchester Cave area is marked by a small cave with several nice lines coming out of it. On the left is a beautiful, vertical wall with at least one terrific route. Numbering, again, follows Hassan Saab's guide with Ricochet on the left as #1.

Getting There Suggest change

Park at the Anti-Phil, cross the stream, & turn left right away. Continue hiking downstream to the cliff base. There is a bit of talus below the main wall, a cave, and a short slope on the left where the routes begin.
