BETA PHOTO: The Pharaoh from the road.


Description 

The lower of two impressive east facing walls seen uphill on the right after passing General Hitchcock Campground. Sunny and warm on colder days but watch out for wind higher up.


Getting There 

Approach from above. Drive past Windy Point and the Goosehead. At around 15.5 miles, there is a road cut. Park around here. Drop down the talus on the right but stay close to the rock outcropping. Follow a ridge to a headstone. Drop down LEFT. The first pass on the right goes to the Ripple wall. Continue down left to the second pass just below a massive chockstone. Turn right and this takes you to the Pharaoh.
