Very new area, rather shady. Rock is mostly good and getting better but watch out for some looseness!

Getting There

Right side of Estrellas Canyon as you walk up canyon. Look for a huge gray face, vertical with water pockets and a big roof up high. There is also a striking arete on the right side of the face. it is a second tier area, you access by climbing a sweet 5.9 in a left facing corner. A fixed line gets you on the second tier proper.
