Description

This sector begins at the large roof that hosts the uber-classic Pleistocene Snail and continues uphill as the bluff gradually decreases in height. Don't let the shorter walls fool you though! Some of the most enjoyable climbs at Prairie Creek are found here. Every route in this sector is well worth your attention.

Getting There

From the main entrance, head toward the prominent roof on climber's left. Follow the trail around the base of the cliff and the large tree leaning against the bluff. For the shorter classics, continue along the path uphill as the bluff gradually decreases in height.
