Description

This place contains some good hard old school slab. It gets sun in the morning and partially shaded in the afternoon. It has approximately 6 mixed routes and most of them are multipitches. The rock is good but SLABBY start. During monsoon there will be a running creek, pools, and a little waterfall.

Getting There

The approach is the same as Whale dome and Warpaint. Before getting to Whale Dome, you will see a distinctive Gap between two domes (The Gap) by the wash. The dome to the left is Epic dome facing south and the dome to the right is The Gap.
