Access Issue:

Portions of the approach and cliffs of this area are on private land.

Details

In 2015, Access Fund acquired key privately owned access parcels when foreclosed on by the bank to keep it in climbing-friendly hands. Please park and camp on Access Fund property and take the new trail down. Please donate today at accessfund.org/homestead to secure permanent access and conservation of the Homestead.

Description

The distinctive terrace that starts abruptly left of the Rough Rider Wall route 'AC Power"

This terrace sector has a number of quality routes, but extra care needs to be given due to the fact that the ledge system can be quite narrow in places, and the drop off is about 25 feet off the ground. Be wary of bee activity, which may be better or worse as the years pass.

Getting There

Access the terrace/ledge system via two different 4th class scrambles.

The lower access route is directly under the climb 'Roof Fuss'

The upper access route scrambles up the ramp past the climb 'Ranch Hands' at Cow Town Buttress
