Erik Koch and I climbed a 6-pitch route on the SW side of a small tower called Greater Walkie. The climb ranged from 5.0 to 5.7 difficulty on mostly loose and dirty terrain. Near the top, we encountered some enjoyable exposure on the route. We descended by downclimbing and scrambling about 250 vertical feet toward the NE.
