Description 

West facing outcropping with slab and crack climbing. Only one route to my knowledge so far but might have potential for new routes.


Getting There 

Either avoid private land by staying high on the slope above the Hidden Valley Dude Ranch - hike up on the south side of Hellen's Dome, et al then head south. A pretty bleak approach. Better yet, ask permission to cross.
