Description

Shady north-facing wall about 300' tall, usually windy in the canyon floor. Water continuously serenades one.

Lonely place with only two known routes. Bolts scattered about suggest some other explorers but no other routes seem completed.

Getting There

Central Gorge South approach requires walking east on the power line road east until it ends. Walk up and right on the drainage that tops out and continue to the edge of the Gorge. Find the notch pictured and descend down and right on an overgrown path to the bottom. As you descend you'll see the huge boulder on top of the 2nd pitch. As you reach the bottom, just cross the creek to the base of Tres Viejos. The first pitch leaning dihedral is just above the water.
