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.

Getting There

Cross the bridge and head East along the creek to the end of the talus field (there will be a small crest), then head up. You’ll see the area on your left as you reach the top of the crest.
