Some of the best rock at Little Russia is found on the stream carved North Face (which doesn't actually quite face north). The sector is always cold, and belaying/keeping your rope dry can be a logistical challenge due to the creek running along its base. Routes are generally vertical and feature easy slab top outs.
Communicate your rap/lowering plan with your belayer before leaving the deck. Count on your belayer not being able to hear you at the chains, the creek is deafening!
The wall leaks in early season and after heavy rain.
From the parking lot, head up the trail on the East/North side of the creek. Take the well worn trail, branching left (signed) on a well worn trail that cuts a side slope before dropping back to the creek. Cross the creek just before it enters the canyon and pick up the trail on the other side. It will deposit you at The Overhang.
This sector is just around the corner from The Overhang (creek side) on the same block of rock.
