Most of the Sheridan Hills crag is now open again following slip damage. Hidden Cirque and Western Wall cliffs remain CLOSED until further notice. Many thanks to the landowners for making this possible.

The carcass is long gone, but the long easy, laid back groove remains, 10 bolts. Exit right from
the top of the groove then up 10m of grass to a large boulder. A DBC belay is on the top of the
boulder. Best to walk off. Hard to beat for a long pleasant climb at a beginners grade.
