Climbers at Echo Cliffs

Echo Cliffs, as seen from the Mishe Mokwa trail. The approach trail reaches the Grotto first. The other walls are approached by hiking right (south) along the base of the cliff.

Looking down Annihilator, 5.11d. The chalked holds (left) are on Immaculate, 5.12a. Both are just past the Kamikaze Cave on the next section of wall called Dream Street. The sharpness of the holds on upper Annihilator made me think Immaculate looked a lot nicer.
