Description

This alcove features the highest concentration of difficult routes on the sunny side of Woodford's Canyon. With one pure sport climb, one mixed climb, and several classic traditional test-pieces the High Caliber Corridor has something for everyone. The east-facing climbs get sun early while the south-facing routes stay sunny longer.

Getting There

From the flat white boulder 30 yards beneath the 2nd Alcove (Whisker Biscuit area) walk right (east) on a trail heading towards a rocky ridge. Before the ridge, locate a 40 ft. pine tree that marks the approach to the Toprope Wall as well as the base of the High Caliber Corridor. The climbs are directly above; some start above the fourth class step, some below. The bolted arete is Mr. Personality (5.12a).
