Description Suggest change

The Left Side is the lower-angle cliff on, not surprisingly, the left side of Tiger Cliff. It has two prominent cracks splitting the face and a large, dark corner on the left. This wall has the most moderate climbs at Tiger Cliff.

Getting There Suggest change

Walk up and left along the grass slope below Tiger Cliff to meet the wall at Thistle Crack.
