Description Suggest change

To the right of the obviously broken Central Ledges, Cactus Cliff becomes clean and continuous again. Once the trail joins back up with the cliff base, this section of Cactus Cliff starts with Alexi's Climb, and goes up until the classic Funkdamental. The division at Funkdamental is arbitrary, but the classic arete route make a good landmark to orient to.

Getting There Suggest change

Take the Cactus Cliff trail from the Bank Campground. Once you reach Cactus Cliff, keep hiking right (east), past the obvious central ledges, then a couple more minutes after the trail rejoins the cliff base. This is where the section starts and continues until the arete with the route Funkdemental.
