Lost Hunters

Lost Hunters Cliff is located on Sherman Mountain, accessed using the same trail as McMartin and Lost T. The Main Cliff is west-facing, steep and sheer with a couple crack lines and face climbs in between. Left of this is a broad gully (used to access the top), and left of this is the southwest-facing Mountain Bruin Wall with a couple of prominent aretes. Further left about 300' is the southwest-facing Corkscrew Buttress.The Main Face is a real gem, with some of the best-of-class climbs, including Elusive Trophy (one of the best 5.13s in the park), and the trad testpiece Inner Sanctum. Newer climbs include Just Another Pretty Face and Life of Try. The two main cracks are Father Knows Best and Lost Hunters Crack.

Lost Hunters Cliff

The Main Face can be compared to the Spider's Web in terms of sheerness and slightly-more-than-vertical angle. Like the Web, there are some cracks; unlike the web, there are some stellar, pure face climbs. Another good comparison is Chatiemac Cliff, another cliff with a concentration of difficult, high-quality routes.
