Description:

This is a seperate formation from the Balconies. There is now a seperate section in the routes database for this. There are many seperate routes on this face. The old guidebook only lists 3 or 4. The new guidebook has twelve. All of which have multi pitch options Rating go from 5.6 up to 5.10a. The rock was free from moss or moisture, but some spots were crumbly

Descent Options:

At the top of each pitch there are good solid metal chain anchors in place to rap down from. There is also a walk off the back from the top pitches only.
