Description Suggest change

Large section of wall with many routes both trad and sport. Highlights include 'Forty-one Candles' (13b mixed bolts and gear) on the left-side, the Dream/Still Living the Dream (5.13 bolts) in the middle section, and Pangea (5.10 bolts) on the far right side.

Getting There Suggest change

After turning left upon passing the Bienvenidos Wall on the initial descent, walk down past Pop Bottle ledge and the first, large unbroken section of wall (Cold Joint-left side). The Cold Joint-right side (per Brad Young's book sections) begins with the arete that forms the outside edge of the very large left facing corner that is located just past the 30 foot tall pillar leaning against the wall on the RHS of the Cold Joint-left side. The center of the Cold Joint-right side features a big right facing corner (Peaceful Warrior) with an obvious wall covered with diorite intrusions, and terminates just before the obvious deep incut portion section of cliff referred to as the White Alcove (see https://www.mountainproject.com/photo/123280292).
