Description

Approximately 1000ft Northeast facing wall with many crack and corner systems on quality rock. There are many nice campsite options along the lakes and several formations nearby with lots of potential.

Getting There

Take Taboose Pass up and over to the intersection with the JMT. Follow the JMT North to the South Fork Kings crossing. Shortly after crossing find the use trail running southwest to Cartridge pass (2ish miles). Take this faint trail up passing some lakes and continue up through the saddle between Cirque Crest and Mt. Ruskin. Follow the trail down around the lakes till you see the Hershey's Kiss face and find a nice camp spot.
