Description

This is another popular cliff to the right of Lower Yosemite Falls.
It offers some good cracks and some face climbs.
This area can get very crowded.

Getting There

Take the Lower Yosemite Falls trail to the bridge. Cross the bridge and after a short distance (east), the cliff will be on the left (north).
