Description

This cool little corridor is a super unique area with a handful of climbs and an awesome handcrack. Its up in a gully between the TNT wall and the Conundrums and requires an approach pitch to access. One 70m rope will get you down in a single rap. The ledge is big and comfy and you can come off belay.

Getting There

Head up to the TNT wall and then climb Argos (10d) or the dirty gully to the right to approach the big ledge. For many years there was a fixed rope here for easier access, but the presence and condition of this rope is subject to change. This area also experiences a greater amount of rock fall after rain or during high winds.
