Description

This wall is one of the most secluded sections of the Endless wall. There are not a whole bunch of high quality routes here; most of those worth doing are in the Mechanical Bull area.

Getting There

Take the ladders to the cirque and then hike for ten minutes along the base of the cliff (climbers left). Total approach time from the Cirque ladders is 10 minutes. You'll know you're close when you pass by the obvious 10' "Stalagtite" that is imbedded in the ground.
