Description

The large and tallest north end of the crag - from the obvious corner north.

Note the big corner crack ("Owl Crack") has nesting owls in it, and so should be kept off limits in the spring from February to June (including the areas north and south of it). To climb it would be a 195' route, probably all gear and 5.9 or less, but still a bold undertaking in need of pre-scouting to remove loose boulders in the lower chimney.

There are a pair of very nice looking cracks (about 100' long just around the corner to the north). They look clean and well protectable on sound rock. Generally the rock quality deteriorates the further north you go up the valley.
