Description 

The original description was deleted upon request by the original contributor. The following may be upgraded:

This is a section of N Table Mt right of the Industrial Buttress. As with most sections of N Table Mt, you can find short sport, trad, and boulder problems. You can also carefully approach some of the anchors by circling around to the tops of the cliff via low-angle breaks in the cliff.


Getting There 

This area lies approximately in the middle of the climbing areas of N Table Mt. It faces roughly SW. Park at the designated lot below the E end of the climbing areas below the S face of N Table Mt. Contour W along the trail past the Tradlands. If you have reached the Industrial Buttress, with the 67 painted on the rock, you've gone too far.

Saw a nice size rattle snake (~3 ft ) on May 10, 2007 up between Industrial Buttress and MBA Wall. He was right on the trail and move off. On the way back around, he was curled up under a rock about 1-2 feet off the trail. Be observant and watch our for your unleashed dogs.

It seems like some of these routes are listed out of order. According to the route description, "Stony Middleton" should be between "Unknown right of Fat Fingers" and "Table Manners".
