Description

This wall is the closest to the parking area at Monastery South. The main face is Northeast facing and usually gets good wind protection. Expect morning sun and afternoon shade. The routes on the main face are between 70 feet and 90 feet tall.

There is also a few shorter routes around the right side of the main face. These routes face Northwest and can get some late afternoon sun.

Getting There

The approach trail starts near some boulders at the base of the hill, below the Thanksgiving Cliff.
