About First Cliff Band Above the Min:

Walk east another quarter mile beyond the start of the descent for the First Cliff Band Below the Mining Road, and the wander up and right, following a faint trail through heather and dwarf trees until you come to a small alpine meadow at the base of a broken, orange cliff, characterized by bright gold edges and glacier striations. "Pearly Queen" (5.11c) is on the upper right side above the easiest route here, "Lizard Princess" (5.7). "Dinoaur Exhibit" (5.11b), a bolted slab climb up the center, is probably the best route on the cliff.
