Description Suggest change

Another contribution by Louie Anderson, this wall hosts a buffet of quality 5.11 face climbs on black patina. The left side of the wall contains the well traveled multi-pitch, 'Rites of Spring'; on the far right side of the wall lies the notorious offwidth, 'Pratt's Crack'.

In general, the style here tends to be more technical than pumpy.

Getting There Suggest change

The obvious big black wall on your left just before the Ecstasy Buttress.
