Description 

There are cliff bands below the Sun Shine Wall with some fun sport climbing. UNlike the pillars above, the Lower Cliffs are made up of entablature, a very weird kind of rock but an interesting canvas for sport climbs.

There are several areas in the Lower Cliffs including The Powerhouse, Mooshine Wall, M&M Wall, Fat Man Wall, Skinny Man Wall, Jigsaw Wall and The Hen House.

The routes are all pretty short but pack a bunch of interesting moves so don't let that be a deterent.
