Always check the NPS website at nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/… for the most current details and park alerts, and to learn more about the peregrine falcon, and how closures help it survive.

Description
Grade and difficulty as per the Roper guide; we encountered no climbing more difficult than 5.9.
The absence of rappel tat suggests that either no one climbs here or those who do climb make it to the top more often than is the case on The Right Side. We found the climbing to be enjoyable and adequately protected; the chimney is a treat at the grade; don’t let the leader wear a pack in there. The Roper guide says to climb on the left, then on the right, then up the chimney, then escape left under a roof. I’m not good at following directions, so take the belay stances in the photo with a grain of salt; and dyslexia—I escaped to the right at the end.
