Description

This little brown cliff Lies about 150 yards east of Asian Fever Buttress. It is identified by brown patina rock with right leaning cracks and a roof on the left-side with a boulder, perched on the ledge on top. Several routes have been done here. The Joshua Tree West Guide only lists three.

Getting There

Follow the West Mongolia/Asian Fever Buttress approach. This cliff will be seen to the right upon entering the valley below Asian Fever Buttress.
