Description
Lurking directly above the base cliffs lies a broken wall of dirty, mostly uncharted terrain with plenty of loose debris, treacherous slab, and lichen. The actual technical climbing - as opposed to merely dangerous scrambling - runs from 30' to 60' high. Roughly speaking, most of the second tier consists of short blocky steps; this sort of terrain runs from the extreme left side two thirds of the way across the slope. The right end is where the most tantalizing opportunities lie. There, a 50' high steep wall decorated with several vertical cracks draws instant attention.
To date, only one technical route has broken through this barrier to reach the next tier of cliffs, but that right end outcrop will surely attract a few willing scrubbers. Above it lies a short section of filthy technical scrambling to another tempting tidbit of cliff...
Getting There
It is possible to make a long class 3 scramble from near Tier 1's left side up to the base of the Second Tier cliff, but it is more enjoyable to climb one of the lower routes to reach this area. Be cautious: about 120' of pine needle-covered low angle slab separates the top of the 1st Tier routes from the bottom of the 2nd Tier cliff.
