Description
Shady and cool in the summer. Short approach. Rock is excellent. Routes start on a "platform" and climb across and out-of a couloir. They access the couloir 30' off the deck, so the routes have an airy, adventuresome feeling.
Getting There
Park at the turnaround/toilet/parking area at the Low Standard Cave (it's the only bathroom on the left as you travel UP canyon). The trail starts at the parking area and hikes up the gully and (west) directly into the trees. Skirt left and follow the path up and to the "Platform", a flat area between the main wall, a couloir and a small "tower" on the left. A downed tree forms leveled area for belaying.
