Description

This is the easternmost developed cliff in Valley of the Chickens.

The cliff is roughly broken into 3 sections. There are at least 9 routes (sport, mixed gear, and gear) here.

Getting There

From the grassy, open parking area on the east, a faint trail heads west along the base of the cliffs.

The first cliff encountered is the Egg and takes only a few minutes to reach.
