Description Suggest change

Just to the east of the smaller West Sector, this area gets sun from around mid day to late afternoon/evening. The Central Sector has the tallest multi pitch routes and is home to such classics as Exum Arete, Do it for Doug and Grand Central.

Getting There Suggest change

Follow the approach detailed on the main page to the center of Rock Springs Buttress, just east (climbers right) of the smaller West Sector. If approaching from the top of the Tram this is the second portion of the crag you will reach once you have made the descent into Rock Springs Canyon. Flanked on the left by a large, loose gulley that splits this part of the crag from the West Sector.
