Start this one off right in the water. Gain a small crack while using face holds to establish yourself in the main right leaning crack. There is a good hand jam to establish into the main crack, but its tough to get to. This thing is tight hands rattly fingers.. prepare yourselves. We werent able to top out, just got most the way up before bailing into the water. Relatively clean for a powell route under the white rock.. but ringlocks on this just makes it hard.

You absolutely can't miss this wall if going up Escalante. So many huecos and different lines to play on. Some are small and shallow and some are deep enough to sit in. Just shows how unique of a formation this is for Escalante. You could make this 5.7-5.8 at easiest.. for hardness.. well 5.11 and beyond.

Section of wall with a distinct horizontal row of huecos, with more below and a few above. Possible lines follow huecos to the right, left and center or traverses. A fun spot with lots of opportunity.

This is a splitter good hands boulder problem that starts on a ledge and gains a small overhang before topping out. It was completely dry and not underwater when we climbed these.

This route goes up the arete by gaining a small ledge to the left and using left/right face holds to top out.
