Description

This is a fun, moderate, alpine outing with a very nice position and incredible views of New York Peak, plus the greater range looking West of Cathedral Peak, Hayden group, and The Bells. Many variations exist when linking pitches up between the Coral, through the Wild Tower, and topping out on the Headlands. It is also fun to crag a high quality pitch on The Wave formation as you journey upward.

Getting There

Use the standard approach to either Wild Ridge or the base of the Coral formation. For those competent with loose trail and talus hopping, a steady push will have you at the routes start in 30 minutes or faster with a light load.
