Description

This is a southwest-facing wall, slightly less than vertical. It is much less dramatic than the overhanging east face. This wall comes into the sun in mid-late morning.

Getting There

Walk northwest from the Blob and look for a gentle pass between two formations. Patagonia Pile West Face is the wall on your right.
