Description Suggest change

The central area at Fairfield has the highest density of quality, longer and near/past vertical lines. Classics include Uncle Meat (8), Rez Ride (9), Chainsaw Willy (10d), Best God in Show (11c), Baby Cakes (11d), Exile on Main Street (12a), and My Dying Bride (12c).  There is also a high density of moderates, making this an area where you can come and get a lot of pitches in.

Getting There Suggest change

FHILL central. Don't try to cheat it going straight up, it is so tempting looks mellow but its a fairly nasty scramble.

2 Perfered ways- take the trail to FHILL East and traverse.  Pass East, pass the little routes at Meadow Rocks, then your straight into Beef Pudding/John Wayne.

Less preferable to me - hike out the double track to the ditch up to West traverse right/East until the break past the Kashmir area.
