Description
This is a minor crag that gets no attention despite being literally a meter from the trail.
This crag is guarded at the base by a few little overhangs that can be avoided via a notch in the rock or a 30 foot hike up and around the South Side to get onto the only recorded route there, the East Face.

Getting There
Hike up the Royal Arch trail over the Sentinel Pass. Once you turn downhill from the Sentinel Pass, there will be a rock on the right (West) with an overhang just above the base, split near its southern end by a slot with a large tree at the top of said slot. That is the West Sentinel.
The rock quality improves out of sight above the slot.
