This climb goes more or less straight up the middle of the face. There is one part where you step right, and you'll know when you get there because the holds going straight up will end.  Finger pockets, toe slivers, requires grace and balance. Optional finish with a nice little dyno is icing on the cake.

Last Stand

Start at the arete. Climb up and go up the "upside down staircase" to the top.

Start the same as far face and far face contrived, stay in the inside corner. Watch out for poison ivy.

From the little corner at the bottom of the face, go straight up, do not step around the blank sections.

The last climb before the descent trail. Bolts at the top. Watch for poison ivy. 20 feet right of Far Face Corner.

No surprise, Far Face is the farthest developed area from the High Rocks parking lot. It is still one of the simplest areas to access, since it only requires a short level trail hike from the lot. This means that, like Practice Face, it sees a bit more use by guided groups.
