Description

These east facing cliffs lie about 75-100 yards east of Hidden Wall. An old dead tree marks the south end of the formation. "Slip Skrig" (5.10c***), "Red Red" (5.10d) and "Red Rain" (5.13a***) are some of the routes found here.

Getting There

Take the main trail to Freak Brothers Dome, continue past The Weenie, turn right and follow the wash past Fat Freddie's Cat, The Obelisk and Pea Brain. Continue conturing around north to where the southside of Bighorn Dome can be seen. Head to Boulder Canyon on the west end (left) of Bighorn Dome. Head northwest to the next canyon north of Bighorn Canyon. A carin marks the entrance on the right side of Boulder Canyon. Scramble through boulders for a few hundred yards passing Hidden Wall on the left. A short distance further an old dead tree will be seen to the left. Red Bluffs lies above this tree.
