Description
(Large portions of this wall will likely Fall Down in the next earthquake! Experienced risk assessment is essential)
This north-facing wall is located on the backside of the main buttress that splits the tongue of Worthington Glacier that heads down towards the highway. This Cliff is also located directly across from the Sunnyside Craig. The Rock quality tends to lend itself towards a much more adventurous climbing Style on more technical Terrain then it's south-facing counterpart in the valley. Experience in risk assessment should be mandatory before attempting many of these routes. First Ascent will likely be achieved every year due to the fact that many routes will fall down and reveal something new as the exfoliating process continues.
