Description

There are three obvious climbs here, all well worth the extra bit of uphill hiking. Perched lower and directly across the canyon from The Fortress, a nice big block of rock to belay from awaits.

Getting There

From Strangler Cliff trend right and up, following the frequent cairns. It is probably 10 minutes from the Hillside Strangler to the Wood Cutters Wall. The possibly tricky portion is in a little scrambling up and left to gain the ridge to the belay block.
