Anyone else been up there? Did you find, Tree In Your Face?

No but I would love to go there - they look so cool from a distance

Someone commented that they couldn't find it. You can see them from the road. It's not a bad hike at all. The view from the summit is one of the best in the red.You can see Indian Creek, Purple Valley and I think Board Wall.

My fiance' and I looked and looked for that place for hours, and finally ended up at, I think brighton wall maybe? Wherever boogered was, was where we ended up. We never could see the pinnacles. Of course it was high summer so everything was in full bloom. Would love to have better directions if you find it.

You were no where near it then. You have to park about the same place as Indian Creek. It's directly across the creek and uphill.I found it no problem.It'just that the route description in the guide is no where on the things. I love a nice handcrack. Makes me think it was translated a couple times or the memory of the route was fogged by too many beers or something. we walked both sides of the butress a couple times. Then we found our own routes. The top out is stellar.
So did you do PopTart and Bambi? If you kept going just a bit,Pirahna is excelent.

Years ago I tried to find Tree in your face with no luck.
Getting to "Teeth Buttress" was no problem, as you can see them from the road.
Finding a climb that matches the description was the hard part.
Nice hike with nice stands of old trees, cave entrance, and cool scrambling on the main wall.
Perfect for you Jessie

Yeah I guess we were wayyyy off track. I just followed the instructions in the guidebook. We may try and hit the buttress up in late fall so we can see them easier. On the good side, that day we found Lost Ridge, Symphony wall and Purple Valley, all of which we had never been to!

The description has to be bogus. there's nothing up there that fits it.
any one know how to reach the FA?

Yeah anyone? That would be awesome if we could get it corrected.

Didn't y'all see the crack on the north side with the giant tree right behind it? That was my guess anyway...
