Description

This south-east facing alcove hosted many single and multi-pitch cracks in bullet stone. It may take up to an hour to approach so you're not likely to see another party up there. It receives AM sun but goes into the shade fairly early during the winter

Getting There

There are several ways to approach depending on your other agendas.
1)Traverse right from High Caliber Corridor to a short 3rd/ easy 4th class 2) Scramble west in between First Crux and Red Pillar (or climb the pillar), or 3) hike up to Toprope Wall and cut left and around.
