Description

Caution, this area has a lot of rock fall from snow melt in early season (and throughout the season). If there is an avalanche cone on the left side of the wall, be especially wary of rock fall.

This wall hosts vertical/less than vertical, lower grade climbs. Rock quality is suspect in places, wear your helmet (as always)!

Morning and Afternoon sun, with a shadow that sweeps across in the middle of the day.

Getting There

From the parking lot, head up the trail on the East/North side of the creek. Take the well worn trail, branching left (signed) on a well worn trail that cuts a side slope before dropping back to the creek. Cross the creek just before it enters the canyon and pick up the trail on the other side. It will deposit you at The Overhang.

From the Overhang, look right, this is the pleasantly sunny wall across the creek from where you're standing! Directly opposite The North Face.
