Description
Columnar basalt pillars further down the talus field from Hexcentric. Climbs range from 5.6-5.9. Climbing here is a bit dirty. All anchors are natural (no bolts) with a walk-off on climbers right. Be careful not to knock loose blocks off when topping out. This area is north facing so gets shade all day. Pretty secluded, I doubt you’ll ever see people on these.
