Description

Basically a 30' hole in the ground this small climbing area has big potential for some new climbs. Mostly underground so obviously shady. If you have ever climbed The Waltz, you have seen it on the south side just right of the belay ledge for the third pitch of The Waltz. Beware of loose rock. Once you see it you want to rappel into it just for fun, but you can climb out!!

Getting There

Easiest way is to climb The Waltz then rappel down in from the small tree on the third pitch. You can also hike up the south side of The Waltz and rappel in from the anchors on Santa's Escape, or hike up the north side and walk into the bottom of it, going under the belay "ledge" for the third pitch.
