Lower North Face Rock Climbing

From the west side camping (see the written description or the this photo for info on how to get there), head east up the road toward Sawtooth Canyon which shortly (~5 minutes) terminates in a sandy circle with additional camping at the mouth of the canyon. Head south on the trail along the base of the granite to the mouth of Notch Peak Canyon. Follow the wash upcanyon/east. The walls to the south/right will grow in height to more than 1,000ft around the time that Notch Peak Canyon splits into two forks. Near this split you can find a cairn to the south/right which indicates the approach gully for the base of "Western Hardman" (about 45 minutes to this cairn from the parking/camping). A few more minutes upcanyon to the east is the cairn and approach gully for "Appetite for Destruction." A few minutes beyond that, just after hiking through a band of large rocks in dirt walls, is the cairn and approach gully for "Eastern Softboy." Beyond this the trail steepens as it heads up to the Prow.
