Smallface is a big boulder thats about 20 to 25 feet tall on the trail to Wallface from Henderson Lake. The main way up is a face climb up the middle which is about a 5.8+ but you can make it as hard as a 5.12. The middle is mostly clean except for a very small part at the bottom but it doesnt affect your climbing at all. The sides of the boulder could be very good climbs but are very dirty and could use a lot of cleaning if anyone wants to put up a new route. To toprope the boulder, you climb up the backside and tie in to a tree at the top. Overall, I think Smallface is a great day trip if you want to try something new and is pretty challenging too.
