Description

One of the most popular sections of Limbo, on some days you can see the topropes from the bottom of the trail. Turkey Chute and the Tower are the obvious formations and easy classics, but there are a few moderate sport and trad routes as well. Follow the main formations and they will eventually fork off the main trail and become the Agualunge area.

Getting There

Follow the main trail from either trailhead and you will eventually find yourself at this section of Limbo directly on the hillside.
