Description

Another long, tall wall with good rock and the largest concentration of quality routes at the cliff. The lefthand side features the best steep jughauls, while the right side has some longer sustained, technical routes.

Getting There

Just a short ways past the Teflon Wall. Look for large hanging columns.
