Description Suggest change

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.

Location Suggest change

Park at the Olmstead canyon turnoff and hike through breaks in the cliffs up the hill. Pretty hard to miss.

Protection Suggest change

Standard Yosemite rack. No bolts. I don't remember needing anything larger than a BD #3.
