Description

Defined by the prominent roof of Emotional Rescue, this wall is also home to the fun and highly recommended Lubricated Goat - Bish combo.

Getting There

Hike past the north end of Barker Dam skirting Oasis Rock to reach this secluded face. Plan on 20 minutes or so for the approach which involves a bit of scrambling in spots.
