A-MAZE-ING
HALLWAY "B" DETAIL
Hallway B is shown in the schematic above. To get there, go to the North Side of the formation and find the Entrance as shown. You will need to negotiate an easy downclimb to get in and once there, make a right turn and proceed westwards. The first route you will encounter is #3, 'Short Stuff' on the right - and about 5 yards further on is 'Mirror Images' on the left. Descent is easiest using the "A" RAP Station.
3.) Short Stuff 5.7 Hands and maybe a stack or two will get you to the top. Short but stout at its grade. Take large cams (2 x #3 and 2 x #3 1/2). Belay on gear (medium cam, 1 x #.75, and a couple of medium wires).
4.) Mirror Images 5.6 if you use the 'back wall' and 5.8 if you don't. Like a desert splitter but easier. Climb either side using great hand jams to the top (see Figure 1 below). Take several hand sized cams for either route. Belay on gear (.5 and .75 cams and a couple of medium wires). Figure 2 is nearing the top of #4a.
