Description

Popular area due to Excellent Ella (5.6) (a great beginner route for a new lead climber or those trying to get used to the rock) and the other moderates. Super Dads (5.10b) is one of the classic routes on this wall as it presents a great challenge for the grade. These routes tend to stay dry after a rain.

Getting There

After passing the kiosk at the top of the main stairs, head down the steps and turn right onto the main trail. Walk about 100 feet and you'll see the arete where Excellent Ella is located. Most routes are located around the corner to the left of Excellent Ella.
