The tall crack-seamed buttresss up and right of the Sector VIPS sees little attention. All the routes require a rack and the fixed gear is 15+ years old on 3 of the routes. If they were re-geared then they would be high quality challenges. CONDITIONS - A tall south-facing wall which gets plenty of sun. Less sheltered than the other crags in the Hidden Valley Guidebook page 181.
