Description
Basically a solo, this climbs the north side past some ledgy steps to a small summit. Standing up on it will test your balance, especially if windy.
Location
From the end of the Lost Horse Road walk southeast for 1/4 mile or so following a beaten path as you pass numerous rock formations on your left; it lies 100 meters southeast of the Uncle Remus Block.
This climb lies at the base of the hillside you'll walk along and is set amongst boulders making it somewhat hidden.
