L.D. Getaway

, and

Andy Devine

are located (in that order, from left to right) on an unnamed cliff a couple hundred feet uphill and west of the main Little Wing formation. All of these routes are of mediocre quality, usually featuring some good climbing mixed with some not-so-good climbing. If you want a cliff with sunny moderates and zero crowds, this isn't a bad choice. There are rap slings on a tree above

, which is the easiest way to descend.


Near the center of the formation is an obvious splitter up a headwall. Below this is a large slab/ledge. Start to the right up a short crack to gain the ledge. Continue up the slab to the left to reach the base of a perfect handcrack. This section is really fun; if it went on 5 times longer this route would be a classic. Steep hand jams leads to easier climbing up a corner.
