Description Suggest change

This wall is located above Lower Dawn. Routes start from a large comfortable ledge. This wall hosts a few classic trad climbs including the classic testpiece Ziggy Piggy.

Getting There Suggest change

Most often accessed by climbing the first pitch of the Light Fandango, especially for routes on the right side of Upper Dawn. For the left side probably the best way to get there is to climb Destiny's Child/Comrades in Destiny and then make a short, easy traverse over to Upper Dawn.
