Wildcat One Northwest Face Rock Climbing

The Northwest Face is the prominent face you’re looking at pretty much the entire time your on the approach trail. This face is the tallest of the block, and many of the routes here require a 70m rope to TR, with one route that needs to be belayed from the top after leading or can be done as a multi-pitch. The character of the rock is much different than that of the South Face, some of the routes are overhanging and slabby at the same time, creating a fun combination of movement, offering a more “all around” style of climbing. This face is less beginner/family friendly, even for the grade, as most of the belay stances are on sloping ledges or require 3rd Class scrambles and more shenanigans to access. Don’t let that discourage you from coming over here though, these are some of the best routes on the block.
