Observatory, The

The Observatory could be considered as an extension of the Gallery, on the climber's right or south side. The rock can be seen from the parking lot of the Second Pullout, its most prominent feature is the broad, low angle, smoothed-over arete on the right side. The routes are face climbs, mostly protected with bolts but also with the sporadic gear placements as well. The rock gets sun from late morning throughout the rest of the day. The routes all require double rope rappels.
