Description Suggest change

A quieter and smaller wall with a few gems. You can definitely have a fun day out here ticking off some of the classics.

Sun until mid afternoon (Bud's Route in sun until 2:30 in October). Fairly safe from wind since it's back in the valley.

Getting There Suggest change

Go just past the Technicolor parking and turn right at the next dirt road (2.6 miles from Beef Basin turnoff), take this to a camp site and park. The trail (not bad) starts past the obvious and crazy hoodoo Trouser Snake and goes fairly straight up from there. It drops you off near Dusty Pussy, near the prow between the NE and SE faces. There are other approach trails, including the one listed in the 2018 Creek Freak, but all the ones that I found I thought were worse.
