Description

This small formation is located 150' right and slightly uphill from Becky's Buttress and is distinguished by a flat and narrow upper portion, giving it the appearance of a chair.

Not much to recommend here but it could be worth the short hike from Becky's Buttress to check it out.

All of the existing routes are on the shorter east face of the formation and an easy downclimb exists down the southwest side of the formation.
