Description

This is the seldom visited area to the right of the Porcelain Wall. The wall is not quite vertical, opening up free climbing options.

Getting There

Follow the approach to the Porcelain Wall. As in, up the Half Dome approach, then cut hard right a little ways above the first fixed line. Keep on up the loose gully. At the base of Porcelain Wall (as in, you can touch the wall), start hiking climber’s right (west). Be very careful as the traverse trail is quite lose above a 1000’ drop.
