Description
The large clean buttress looming above the Sheelite Crags. This formation has lured climbers in over the years but has largely remained adventurous and untamed. Climbable rock wraps around from the south to the north with the cleanest appearing sections facing south/southeast. Sun and shade can be found at all times and its high position means that the sun is on it before the canyon floor receives it. Sun remains long after the floor loses it. Best times to climb: Fall and Winter.
