A.K.A., "Rocco's Wall". American Pillar route (5.10, 1981) is shown. H3O (5.11, 1982) is around the corner. Also, a 5.9R route (The Milk Bottle, 1979?) works its way up the crack system descending from just right of the summit.
The Wild Granites. This photo was taken from about halfway through the approach. The base fo the formations are still a considerable distance. The scale of this place is grand.
