    A small cove of climbs behind Sizzlefoot Face produce some of the most feared boulder problems in the area. While they are not technically difficult, the adaptation to the rock that is so slippery it’s stickier when wet is usually arduous. You are actually climbing inside a huge pothole.

    Access to the top: From Sizzlefoot Face walk south and find a series of man made "rock" steps taking you to the top of Sizzlefoot Face. Slicksides Face is on the other side

    Access to the bottom: There will be some steps to the bottom of the other side which faces the river.
