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 as viewed from the RO Ranch in the bottom of Big Smokey Valley

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.
