Description

Home to many of the famous North facing king lines including Joy After Pain, The Moratorium, Pillars of the Community and the rare Mean Streak.

Getting There

As one enters the valley on the Southfork Road a number of long ice lines will appear to the left (South) high up below a ridge. Turn left off Southfork Road on to the Hunter Creek Road. In just under four miles from the turnoff a two track road will appear on the left - take this to a parking area. A good trail to the left of the parking area leads to both the Lower and Upper Bench climbs.
