Description
Climb the crimps on face left of "Lowercase Class." Climb the crimps until your feet are up on the broken ledge. Next, dyno with your right (spooky) to a nice jug. Continue straight up on slopers and crimp rails to the summit. Maybe two star climbing marred by a bad fall and a broken ledge but worth the effort.
Location
From the 1st parking lot, take the Sisters trail until it meets up with the Ponderosa. Take a left (west) for about 50 yards and look up to your right and you will see the Brothers Lookout lower tier. This is where "The Wisdom Wall" is located. Once you have got the lower tier spotted, just bush whack your way towards the lookout while staying slightly EAST of main terrace. Continue past the first tier via a gully that is best accessed from the far EAST of The Brothers Formation. Walk up the gully looking to your right and you will start to see the hidden jewels of the 2nd Tier. Continue to the top of the gully past "The Left Brain Buttress." Look up and to the NORTH and the alcove with be obvious.
