The Armpit Area
A small shallow corner just off the main walkway holds a few good beginner routes with little exposure. The small nature of these routes means they are often ignored, but they provide a high concentration of climbs in a very small area.
Access from the bottom: Walk down the walkway just past the steel railing on the left side. Down climb the manmade boulder retaining wall (5.2) or find the path through the swamp starting near Sizzlefoot Face.
Access from the top: Walk down the walkway to the steel railing pothole overlook.
