Looking north into The Outback from Hidden Valley Campground, Patagonia Pile is easily seen as the formation having the highest summit and a noticably overhung east face. Sunny in the morning, shady and cool in the afternoon, this face doesn't have much in the way of warmups, but a stack of fun 5.11's await any who make the five minute hike up. Highlights include No Shirt Needed (5.11a) and Jugline (5.11c).

If approaching from Hidden Valley Campground, head straight north past the Iron Door Cave. Easy boulder hopping leads to the mostly flat base of the east face.
