Notch peak looms above the granite slabs

Notch Peak.

Notch Peak (This is the correct canyon to hike to the climbs)

Routes as seen on approach (Western Hardman encountered first). Upper north face of Notch Peak in the background, with upper reaches of La Fin du Monde and Book of Saturdays visible. Route topo lines are very approximate.

The Tombstone at the mouth of Sawtooth Canyon.

Interesting limestone arch visible across the notch from the approach to the upper wall.

Approach map to Sawtooth Canyon and Notch Peak:<br>
Pull off highway 6/50 onto dark gravel road around mile marker 43. This road converges with a dirt road called the Tule Valley Road. This road leads to Painter Springs. From the highway, drive approximately 6.5 miles to a four-way intersection. Turn right onto the rough road and drive for about two miles and park in a clearing just before the streambed. If you brought a high-clearance vehicle with four-wheel drive that you don't mind scratching up, you can drive up the wash for another half mile to the wilderness study area sign.

Looking down Optimizer (5.11b/c) on the Tombstone.

In the approach wash Chuckwalla's (maybe a collared lizard?) out showing off

Looking back at the approach. Still at least 30 minutes from the base of the upper cliff face.

beautiful limestone just south of notch peak. Routes like this are everywhere.
