Description

This is the right (east) side as looking into it from the approach. The routes are all crack climbs with most being creatively named using letters of the alphabet. Descent is via an easy downclimb on either end with the northern side being the easiest and least exposed of the two choices.

Getting There

Approach as for Isles in the Sky aiming for the left side of the face. Walk around left of the route Bee Gees and then scramble over blocks to enter the corridor proper.
