The largest and most impressive of the formations. I believe this is the formation being called the Toiyabe Fitzroy, which I think is a killer name for a crag!

The Wild Granites. This photo was taken from about halfway through the approach. The base of the formations are still a considerable distance. The scale of this place is grand.
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.
