Season(s):
Wet weather options:
Style of Climbs:
Grades: All

The Details:

The rock: Wingate sandstone.

Access:

Two views of the escarpment from the West.

This pedestal hosts some easier cracks. The flake on the left is called Pussy Bolt (5.8) but doesn't have a bolt any more! A mostly hidden crack goes up the R side of the face at quite an easy 5.10.

"The most stacked wall in Utah"... a quote apparently attributed to this wonderful 100m+ wall chock full of splitter cracks. For a higher res photo you'll have to email me.
