Description

An obscure, 600 foot face, similar to the north face of Hoffman, but not as extensive. There is plenty of good rock (the orange stuff and the orange stuff with a black lichen coat) and plenty of grey/white choss. Expect to negotiate some overhanging terrain. Don't climb here unless you're skilled at keeping your belayer alive as the rope weaves through loose blocks.

Getting There

From the top of Tuolumne Peak, drop down across scree and rock to the north-east. Pop over the col between the north face and the anvils and descend gullies to the base of the climbing.
