Description

Short, mostly one-pitch routes to and from Madsen's Ledge, a large and long ledge on the eastern end of the central wall, about one pitch off the ground.

Getting There

The base pitches are found by just walking east along the base of the UTW, stopping before the trail goes downhill towards The Cheeks.

For the pitches starting on the ledge, the first pitch to several wall routes will take one here. The easiest may be The Ave, but there is also a set of iron rungs going up to the eastern end of Madsen's.
