Description

Scuz Ball

, Squeeze-n-Tease, L.D. Getaway, and Andy Devine are located (in that order, from left to right) on an unnamed cliff a couple hundred feet uphill and west of the main Little Wing formation. All of these routes are of mediocre quality, usually featuring some good climbing mixed with some not-so-good climbing. If you want a cliff with sunny moderates and zero crowds, this isn't a bad choice. There are rap slings on a tree above Andy Devine, which is the easiest way to descend.
------------------

Located in a right-facing corner at the right end of the cliff. Begin up a runout slab/ramp to the right to avoid the roof. A direct start is also possible on top rope, starting off a boulder, and goes at about 5.10- (somewhat height dependent). Continue up the easy corner using caution to avoid the loose rock near the top.
