Description

This side canyon has both east and west facing walls, with a handful of worthy lines to climb. It is a very aesthetic location laden with detached towers and gargoyles. It also is a beautiful holdout of living pines following the recent fires that have plagued the area. Both Ponderosa and Doug Fir fill the scenery and provide extra shade.

Getting There

Approach as for Hall of Giants. When you reach the base of the wall, head left(west) and traverse the base of the wall up into a side canyon. Some nice slickrock scrambling will lead up to near the top of the canyon where you can easily access both sides.
