Description

The Upper Upper Tier sits high above the normal Indian Springs triple tiers. It also faces south and gets full sun. The quality of the rock is not as good as the lower tiers but does have some good potential. A lot of work would be necessary to clear access at the bottom of the routes and clean lichen/moss off the routes themselves.

Getting There

From the top of the Upper Tier, Upper Upper is clearly in view. A easy 10-15 hike up the rocky slabs with a bit of scrambling puts you at the lower left side of the main cliff. A not too bad hike off the west side down a rocky stream bed gets your through the tough brush and onto the Upper Tier slabs.
