Description
This area is the next crag to the north of the expansive area known as Cumberhoney Wall. There is a fair amount of junk at along the base of the crag undoubtedly tossed from where the road runs closest to the top of the crag.

Getting There
This area starts about 700' north of the Jim Pick rock cairn. The arete that marks the south/climber's right end of the area is about 50' north of the large roof that is the crux of "I Wanna Live". The second arete after "I Wanna Live" is Little Jimmie's Arete which is also where the trail directly meets the wall again (in Sisters' Corner).
