Description Suggest change

A more random and obscure part of Ibex, the South Corridor has a small variety of crags within a 10 to 20 minute approach. Like most of the areas, traditional and sport lines exist in the corridor. A 60 meter rope will suffice along with a single set of cams, and 8 to 10 draws.

Protected by the wind and fairly exposed, you can find solace on cold bitter days. Crags here include the Scorpion Slab, Holey Moley, the Birth Canal and New Year's Rock.

Getting There Suggest change

This cluster of random crags are located between the Corral Crags and Snakeskin Buttress.
