This is arguably one of the most aesthetic looking climbs of the lower cliffs near Grand Central Slide.

Start at the lower curtain (about 25 feet tall) if it’s touching down or find one of the weaknesses to the left to access the ramp. Climb to the terrace below the pillars and belay or climb in a single pitch (we broke it into two smaller pitches during the FA). The grade varies between WI4-5 depending on how it builds.

This south/southeast aspect cliff is the obvious climb 50 feet right of Spiritus Draconis. The lower pitch is prone to baking due to its aspect and the dark brown underlying stone.

Standard rack of screws with some stubbies, maybe some small rock gear if you have to get creative with the start.
