Description

This is the sunniest portion of the main wall, devoid of trees that would provide shade. It is divided from Nomad Buttress by a giant wet corner system that goes halfway up the wall. It's right side ends at the giant chimney system.

Possibly one of the best winter crags in Washington. It's climbable in the sun after one or two days without rain down to freezing temps. 40 degrees will have you in tee shirts as long as its south face can bake in the sun.

If it's the summer, it's still climbable but get here early as it's generally nuclear hot by 10am. Luckily the king lines are long enough that two burns will be all you can muster.

Getting There

Hike in to the main wall and stay on the trail traversing under the fallen tree and across the boulders until you can take a sharp left turn up to the platform at the base of the wall.
