Description Suggest change

North-facing, shady wall just beyond Kitty Crag on the opposite side of the pass. Despite the name, there are a number of well-trafficked sport routes in the 5.11- to 5.13- range that are clean and enjoyable. There are some less trafficked routes and a couple of projects which are somewhat sandy and crumbly but would also clean up in time. This cliff is almost never crowded.

Getting There Suggest change

This is the first obvious bolted wall in the Guardian Angel Pass on the right (south) side.
