Description

Directly north of South Dome and Main Wall areas. This part of MCS has a distinct "cirque" of rock creating a steep arch on the otherwise low angle rock. There are about ten very easy 90' climbs if you do the first pitch. Most of these climbs will stop right below the cirque feature but the second pitches go through or around the cirque making for the crux of the entire area.

Getting There

This is right in the middle of the MCS. Follow the landing at the base of the granite north past the Main Wall from the South Dome. If coming from the north, walk past the lobes up a steep incline. This area is noticeably more open with a wide and flat area below most of the climbs.
