Description

This free standing pinnacle has great exposure and some fun oldschool routes to play around on. It's a great beginner area.

Getting There

This pinnacle is located near the end of Auxier Ridge on the west side, overlooking Auxier Branch. When you reach a vast, overused camp site on the edge of a high cliff walk left and down until you can see Haystack.
