NE of the main West World Wall, there are a few smaller towers as you get farther from the highway. From the parking/approach at the highway hike up the old road 175 yards and cut across the meadow aiming for the tower right or east of a gap between this and the towers closer to West World proper. From the base of the tower below the crack, scramble up and make a funky move to reach the bottom of the crack. Do the hardest move then use the crack to reach some boulders, a brief face climb and a wide crack to the top passing a smaller column top.

Rat Patrol

Begin with some easy moves to gain a stance. Enjoy some balance moves past a few bolts up to a small ledge before the tricky finish. A fun route if you're already in the area. 

This area was clear cut by logging activities in about 2014 0r 2015 and there are no living trees in the meadow. The only plants are mullins and others that prefer disturbed soils. This was once a beautiful peaceful grotto - once graced by a pile of timber 30' high right smack in the center of the draw, but in 2017 the pile was slash burned. The mullins and irritating plants have lessened quite a bit (2020). The one climb (2015) faces southeast, on warm winter days with sun is nice and warm and conversely, in the summer on a blazing hot day with not one pine cone for shade - you will roast. And the north wind is blocked nicely.
