Description

A complex high up the sunny side of the canyon featuring a large cave visible from the road. As far as I am aware the existing routes were developed by Ryan Curry and friends some time ago. I heard of some developed but unsent projects, so the search began. With amazing positioning and some high-quality rock, it is well worth the hike.

Upon returning to the zone this spring I found a vulture nest in the cave at the base of the climb with baby vultures - this may not be climbable in the spring when the birds are nesting…

Getting There

Same parking as for the wood hood, but head up and right. There is a striped rock feature that you want to trend to the right of, but not so far that you end up in the gully. Eventually you cross the gullies to the right about the same evelation as the cave.
