Description Suggest change

This area has a few face routes and a few cracks. Continuing all the way west on the skirt one can access the Upper Tier as well.

Getting There Suggest change

Park in one of the turn-outs mostly found on the right side of the road and head towards the granite. Takes anywhere from 2-4 minutes depending on the turnout. No real trail per se, then skirt the bottom of the south faces.
