Hello,

I was wondering if Little Corner is on an arete?
My brother and I were at the base and couldn't tell which route was actually Little Corner.
If someone has a pic that would be really appreciated.

Thank you,
Mike

Yeah - That was my brother and me.
Did you guys get the surprise rainstorm a couple hours after we left?
How did Dopey Duck go?

Tom,
Thank you for the pic. I saw that before, but I was looking for something from the base to help us know where to start.
Any advice?
Mike

Wow - we went up to Table Rock and experienced an unbelievable down pour for about 90 minutes.

If you are ever interested in making a day trip to climb DD and Construction Job again, I would gladly follow. I plan to follow these routes then lead them with my brother on my 2nd visit.

Let me know if you're interested.

Jeff,
Is the start right in the crack - or is it off to the left or right?
Thank you for the pic.

Little corner is not little. Start to the right and climb the righthand crack. The left one is Julia, which a rope can barely be seen hanging from. Julia is a 5.10, which should be evident pretty quickly... Dancing Outlaw is the bolted face to the left (an arete perhaps).

Start in the same corner for Julia and Little Corner, then bust right and follow obvious corner...

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
