Description

This steep cliff is named for its lone completed route "Santa Fe". There is evidence of three other projects that appear abandoned. The cliff's namesake ascends a 30 degree overhang on huge jugs. The cliff is fairly long for this part of the canyon, and faces due south, though the wall is shaded in the morning by the canyon wall. In summer the steepness of the cliff provides nearly all-day shade.
