Description

This 80-foot-high slab is located up and right of Bambi Meets Godzilla. The slab has at least nine bolted slab climbs. It faces east and is in the sun in the morning, shade in the afternoon (but not until after 3 pm by late spring/early summer). In the winter months the slab gets virtually no sun.

Getting There

On the east face of the main Echo Rock complex. Located 100 feet up and right from Bambi Meets Godzilla. A bit of class 3 scrambling leads to the base.
