Description
Osprey overhang can be seen from Tenaya lake as a chunk of rock on the western skyline with a prominent roof. This is Osprey Overhang. The regular route chimneys through a large break in the roof. To get there, follow an obvious corner with some mildly awkward 5.7 stemming and liebacking.
It is about an hour quasi-bushwhack approach for a short climb, but the summit views are awesome.
See the awesome updated (4th ed.) Reid/Falkenstein guide for more info.
