Description 

Friction slabs and arch corner cracks to bolted belay anchors. 7 pitches go up adjacent to the long tree gully up the slabs. Good photos on the internet from images, (green chasm n.h.) of climbing on Mt. Webster and the central slabs. The photo's from Lost in the sun, head wall, I don't know where they are.

Location 

Uphill and way left or north of the Willey House parking area. I go across the bridge at the Willey House. Then through dense forest left or north heading uphill slightly diagonal to reach the river bed that will lead you to the base of the slab. There should be a trail uphill left or north before the waterfall on the slab. Traverse left until you come to the climb.

Protection 

fixed bolts and a light trad. rack with medium cams. Rappel with two 60 meter ropes.
