Description Suggest change

North Facing wall with a wide variety of routes. The highest concentration of trad lines are found here, and a couple really good 5.12s.

A good warm season destination. In the summer, the left side of the wall is in the sun until maybe 10:30am. Also, the far right side of the wall goes into the sun in late afternoon. In the shoulder season, very little sun on this wall.

Getting There Suggest change

This is the north facing buttress directly in front of you as you hike up the canyon bottom.
