Description

This nice wall has a low juggy roof to play on, slabs, and several other interesting features. Besides the obvious traverse and up problems one could make up many silly eliminates including lunges. A few of the nicer lines to do here include the Arete (V3 - sitstart the SW arete), The Mars Traverse (V5 - V3 without exit), The Traverse Exit (~V3 - alone), Crimpage (V3) and Worm Up (V0 - up from the middle of the low roof). A good area to warm up or cool down on for/from harder problems. Careful, as some of the holds can be sharp.

Getting There

Located along the lower ridge of the Northern area of Carter this rock is just North and uphill from Monster Boulder and easiest reached by approaching from the North parking, walking to the Spice Roof area, descending (to near the Monster Boulder) and walking a few yards north.
