Description

Tucked away from the more commonly used trails, it has one tall, low-angle face, and a shorter vertical face. The tall face may have potential for a short toprope route or two--or a high-consequence highball. The shorter face has potential for more problems besides Here There Be Dragons.

Getting There

From the end of the northernmost main trail that crosses Tin Can Hill, turn left once you're up on the rocks and hike along the rocks for about 55 to 60 metres. You'll eventually come across a trail that will lead you down the left side of the slab (when facing north). Alternatively, if you travel south from the water treatment plant, you can find a little-used trail that will take you right to the slab. I haven't mapped that trail yet, but it's probably about 200 metres.
