Description Suggest change

This wall faces mostly North; it is on the South side of highway.

Per Waverly Davis: as of April 30, 2023, there is an active golden eagle nest here. Please do not climb here until the babies fledge!

Getting There Suggest change

Park at the second pullout below the tunnel. Walk about 20 yards down from the pullout; pick your way up through a talus and follow the faint path up to the top of the gully, and to the base of the obvious, streaked, overhanging wall.
