Description

The East facing slab sitting below Laundromat and Kadawn Buttresses. There are a number of good slab climbs here, mostly focusing in small edges rather than pure friction. Rock quality is mixed, ranging from solid to less than stellar. Most routes are single or two pitch. A 70m rope and small rack are required for some of the lines.

Getting There

From the turnout just NE of the PSOM parking area follow a faint trail and concrete walkway North toward a wide, rocky gully. Proceed up the narrowing gully on rocks and intermittent trail until reaching a large slab (marked with a short low roof in the center). Allow 15-20 minutes for the approach.
