Description Suggest change

The smaller coulee just south of Frenchman. Most of the walls on all sides of this canyon are developed or are being developed. Includes the tallest pillars at Vantage at the popular Sunshine Wall and tons of sport climbing on the entablature layers surrounding.

Getting There Suggest change

Park at the main lot and hike south past Agathla Tower. Continue west, slightly, and up onto the mesa. All forks from here will lead you to some part of Echo Basin, but most will take the left fork and continue down the first gully in between pillars.
