Description

The prouder side of Window Rock, the west facing crag is a steep, bulging, over-hung, version of its back. With a handful of three star classics, this is a wall that should not be missed. Bring your A game, the west side can be rough.

The west side of Window Rock closes regularly for raptor nesting. Please watch and obey closures.

Morning shade / afternoon sun.
