Description
Sawtooth Ridge is the obvious wall to the east of the road, just before the main Big Chief parking area. There are a handful of good routes here, ranging from 5.7-5.12, and you're likely to have the place to yourself. Worth a trip if you're seeking solitude or if you've done everything at Big Chief.
Getting There
Park on the left in a large clearing, shortly (1/10th mile) before the main Big Chief parking area. A trail heads east from the parking and downhill, crossing a seasonally-dry creek. On the other side of the creek, look for cairns, which indicate the start of a fairly distinct trail to the base. If you find the trail, the approach probably takes 10-15 minutes and is a bit shorter than Big Chief.
