Alaskan Wall, The

The Alaskan Face is the sector that you first come to when approaching the cliff. It is a bit over 200 feet tall and is bounded by the large Smoky Dike gully around to the left and the big wide crack/corner formed by the intersection of the White Owl Face on the right.

Most routes only go to the mid height break, with only one currently wondering up to the top through the Turkey Rock looking blocky roofs above the left side. Right above the approach trail, "Owling Good Time" 9+ will give you a fun sampling of what Owl's has to offer at a moderate grade. Heading around right, under a short wall and up, you will find the especially note worthy name sake route "The Alaskan Slab" 12a, a super nice bolted steep slab with features including a layback ramp, finger pockets and a nice finish corner. The right most bolted route is the Chris Smith's excellent rounded 5.10c arete "Lonesome Owl", that is reminiscent of "Lonesome Dove" at Rumney.
