Description

A seldom visited portion of the formation that is home to a pair of thin cracks and a bold face climb.

Morning sun and afternoon shade.

Getting There

The typical approach is made from the apex of the western HVCG loop, although surprisingly easy access can be made from the west by parking near Dihedral Rock.

Once the rock is in sight a rough trail leads up through blocks to a relatively level base.

A quick and easy descent can be made by scrambling off to the climber's right.
