Observation Narrative ? The plot includes a ledge and ledge face with irregular microtopography. Slope shape varies from flat to 90 degrees. Plot has had some disturbance from visitor impact but remains an excellent example of the type. The area sampled is well below the upper ledge of this outcrop, which receives more impact.
