Description
Upper Iron Side, as the name suggests, is above Iron Side. A sloping yet roomy ledge with lots of sun and fixed anchors provides the base for the climbs. Upper Iron Side is a fairly short wall, approximately 55', yet is near vertical. It boasts two sports climbs that will get you off the ground, away from others and has views galore.
It can be accessed via: Twin Flakes (note on Twin Flakes, climb past the normal anchor clipping the 3 bolts directly above, 110' to ledge from ground), Last Chance, Red Dihedral, Rimpelstilskin (I assume, as I have yet to climb Rimpelstilskin).
One double rope rappel from the base of UIS (sloping ledge) finds the ground.
Upper Iron Side also provides additional ways and means to access to the Printerboy ledge.
