Description

Just off the trail and facing north is the short slab with a single route. Probably not worth the stop but you could do worse when in the area.

Getting There

Most easily reached from the vicinity of the Lost Horse Road. Park and hike the worn trail leading south along the formations where you'll find this on the first sizeable formation in the area.
