Description

Slab wall above the main Cove Wall. Features several great moderate slab routes. 75' tall at the highest point.

Getting There

1)The cool way: Climb up "Bat Company" 5.9 (See Cove Area for description) and scramble up a small easy section of 4th class from the giant belay ledge.

2)Follow the base of the Cove Wall to the far left and up the 4/5th class gully. Loose rocks have been mostly removed but be careful as the gully is fairly steep.

3)While this method takes much longer it might be easier for the timid. Follow Highlands approach. Once at highlands traverse left towards the top of the cove, and down a very pleasant terrace.
