Description

Just right of the Stealth Pillar on a face characterized by a large white dike are three fun, moderate routes. Although the approach is a bit of a slog, by Josh standards at least, the views are unparalled and make up for it.

Getting There

Park in the large lot for Rattlesnake Canyon and hike south along the wash for several minutes until able to break left into another drainage which gets you closer to the formation. Higher exit the drainage and work up the steep and loose hillside (watch out for ball bearings underfoot) to the base of the formation. The approach takes 45-60 minutes.
