Description Suggest change

This is the short, south facing wall across the drainage from the Draw Pile and Discard Pile. A nice spot to set up a TR or practice leading with the opposite shade aspect as the rest of the walls.

The original routes put up by Kemper Brightman and Luke Bertelsen have been added to by Eric Fazio-Ricard, and there is now a handful of very short, easy climbs on this formation.  With a few big trees at the base offering a nice respite from the sun, the blocky gully has become a nice durable hang-out.

Getting There Suggest change

From the pull-out head down into the gully where a large culvert crosses the road. Cruise up the blocky gully to the base of the routes.

From the Draw pile, pick up a path near the base of Moral Ambiguity and follow it north, across the slope to the top part of the drainage.
