south side wall

south side wall

This is the large north facing wall on the south side of the canyon. The finger crack is on the left side and an anchor with webbing is located on the largest ledge above the cracks and colorful lichens. The anchor (a touch of blue webbing) is barely in view if you look at the picture full resolution just below a nearly triangular shadow on the ledge. I went halfway up the crack and then moved to the right and went up different cracks that brought me up to the anchor. It was perhaps a 5.9 climb with good protection, though not as "friendly" feeling as a typical city of rocks 5.9 crack.
