Description Suggest change

Granite formation to the North of Hornet's Nest on the Honeycomb Wall side. Contains two routes on the Western side. They are shorter routes (Dykes Next Door (5.11a) and Critical View (5.8)), and both a lot of fun. Try'em!

Getting There Suggest change

From South Seas sign-in, walk left up trail for a little over fifty meters (150 feet). Critical View is on the right. To the left of Mr. Critical, Lonesome Cowboy, and Second Hand Rose. To the right of Ladies in Love and Boylesque.
