Description

This is the beautiful slab and buttress hidden to the left of “The Eagle’s Gift” slab. If you know where it is, it is very simple to walk literally right to the top of it in just a minute or two from the Ridge Trail.

Getting There

At the bottom of the low-angle slab marking the entrance to several areas, very faint or even imaginary trails diverge in the brush. A hard left down the slope leads to the Whale’s Lip; a mild left to the Eagle’s Gift Slab; a still milder left to the Gutterballs crag, the top of which is almost at your present level, and which is marked with two rap bolts, using which are the best way to the base of the crag; a mild right and down a gully leads to the Latest Trick crag and several others farther down; and a hard right goes to the top of Jabba the Hut. None of these routes are obvious.
