Description

This is a small south facing slab about 200 meters to the southeast of Grizzly Crack or about 300 meters to the southeast of the Indian Springs Lower Tier main wall (e.g. Flatus). The slab is about 40 feet tall. There are three routes (see picture). The left-most has no protection and is best top-roped. The middle route is a sport climb and has two bolts. The right-most route has one bolt and additional places for gear in the flake 10 feet or so above the bolt. The same two bolt anchor with Drayco Keylocks can be used for all three routes. It would be quick and easy to top rope all three routes one right after the other. You can walk off down the short 2nd class gully to the climbers left.

Getting There

See map. The easiest approach is to start from the base of the Indian Springs Lower Tier main wall, then traverse to the climber’s right staying about 30-40 meters below Grizzly Crack.
