Description

This secluded and charming little "canyon" is located on the west facing slope of the main canyon. The main canyon at the south end includes climbing on both east and west facing sides. The west side has a couple good quality short routes on great rock, and the east side has a few slabby face climbs at the south end, and some steeper sport climbing to the north.
