A view of The Owl (at far right) from the East end of the 120 tunnel above the Cookie Cliff. Cascase Creek is thundering down on the left, Knob Hill is in the middle with Anti Ego Crack and Sloth Wall indicated. The 120 runs along the bottom of this shot - great access!!
Knob Hill and The Owl

A view of The Owl from below Knob Hill. Owl Roof is the obvious roof crack up high, it's a 5.12c/27 6 inch wide roof crack. Climbing to the roof then avoiding it to the left is meant to be quite a good 2 pitch 5.9.
