Description

Not sure what the developer(s) call this wall, so "upper slab" is a working description until someone is kind enough to share it! I've seen one fairly recent two bolt anchor on the top of the wall next to a manzanita shrub.

Getting There

On the approach trail to Bucks Bar, jog left on the first noticeable small side trail, which leads to a low angle slab with a fine view down on the gorge. Walk to the two bolt anchor and rappel down to toprope the routes below.

You can now access the base of the slab by a freshly forged climber's trail. Walk the approach path to the section where there is protruding granite along the trail - there is an old snag there. If approaching from the top, hang a left at the snag. If approaching from below, hang a right. See photos for reference.
