Description Suggest change

This wall was first developed by Jerry Oser and Sean Rivet. There are currently several routes, two of which ascend a slab. There is also a bolted arête off by itself (you'll pass it before the you arrive at the slab on the approach).

This wall is home to one of Bishop's hardest slab testpieces, The S.A.T.

Getting There Suggest change

Walk ~ 15 minutes up-canyon past the Planetarium Wall. Scramble up a short hill of talus and scree, down into a depression, then up again. The wall will be on your left. Look for the smooth, bolted slab.
