Description
This is about as much fun as you can have at 5.6! Good protection, exposure and sustained climbing.
Done in 2-4 pitches. No fixed hardware at belays which is typical for Shortoff.
Location
Follow the trail almost to the top of Shortoff mountain. There is a “Gully Pipe” (small spring/stream with water pipe) running across the trail here. Start descending down this wet gully. Turn left at the base of the descent gully and look for the first monster corner. This is "Little" Corner. Some bushwhacking likely required.
