Topo of the right side, upper ledge wall at the Fringe.

The Fringe from the Kraft parking lot. Follow the road until you hit the massive stone spiral and the building foundation, then follow the trail across the wash and towards the distinctive formation in the photo. This trail is a joy to walk and is super easy. Eventually, you'll drop down into the wash next to two round-ish white boulders to your left. Continue straight across the wash here and pick your way up the slabs. There are very few moments when you'll be unable to see the crag, so follow your nose up the steep-ish slabs. When you pass a very overhanging boulder on your left with a dropoff to the right, you're about 5 minutes away.

Condition Report.
Follow wash until past these rocks, then head left and uphill on the slabs. Slab walking is pretty easy.
