Description
This high quality, right facing corner would be climbed all the time if it were in the northern part of the park. It is found on the north face of what we called the "Mastadon Egg." This formation is clearly visible east of Cottonwood Campground and is identified by the obvious offwidth facing west (this crack is low angle, bring #5s to lead). Cross country toward the formation and scramble up the bottom of the gully. Tunnel under a boulder into a sizeable cave (pretty neat spot) and up to the obvious corner. The crack leans back and starts as fingers. Pull a weird bulge and then climb double hand cracks to a fun top out. Belay with thin hand to fist sized gear up top. Descend by down climbing the 5.5 splitter hand crack on the formations west side called Baby Dino (easily down-leadable if you don't want to solo).
