Description Suggest change

Premium miniature piles!!
Lots of choss with a few worthwhile pockets, amazing views, and easy approach would best describe the area.
Definitely worth checking out and still more routes waiting to come to life.

Getting There Suggest change

The few smaller formations directly to the right (east) of the Alabama Hills BLM entrance sign. Closest rock to Movie Road as it turns to dirt!
