Description 

This is the smaller cliff located out right (east) of the main Ophir Wall. Home to a few good single pitch routes. It is west facing so it is cooler early, sunnier later in the day.


Getting There 

From the Ophir Wall parking area enter the boulder fields below the wall and traverse to the far right staying relatively low. Approx. 15 min.
