Warning Access Issue: Climbing Permit Needed-Seasonal Raptor Closure DetailsDrop down

Description Suggest change

Steep slab wall downstream of main wall. Sunny most of the day except early morning. Rock is of good quality. This area sees little traffic. All routes single pitch, but double rope rap needed on longer routes.

Getting There Suggest change

Same approach as Main Face. Continue following trail until it ends just past the Diagonal. Then bushwack another 100 yards or so looking uphill for the big slab
