Mokule'ia Wall Rock Climbing

The routes in this subsection and organized in order from left (east) to right (west).

Mokule'ia Wall is an outstanding basalt cliff with mainly sport routes 40 to 90 feet in length and 5.7 to 5.13c in difficulty. The rock quality is generally good and our classics routes are just as good as the classics at any major sport climbing destination in the continental US. On a crowded day, Mokule'ia Wall might see 40 climbers but during the week there might not be anyone. The Mokule'ia Wall is one of only a few crags in the United States that can honestly boast a 365-day climbing season in shorts and a T-shirt.

This area is equipped to be easily top-roped. Most of the routes will have strings running from the ground to the anchor and back to the ground so you can clove hitch your rope and pull it through the anchors at the top. Some routes may have difficulty ratings printed on the top rope sticks, but the sticks get mixed up so don't place any confidence in what's printed on the stick. The tallest route is about 85' and has 12 bolts so if you bring a 60m and a dozen draws (excluding anchor draws) you'll be set. Virtually all the bolts placed at this crag are bomber titanium glue-ins.

Avoid leaving valuables in your car as break-ins can occur on rare occasion.

Note: it is a violation of state law to bring a dog to the crag unless licensed as a service dog. Violations require a mandatory court appearance. Prior to climbing at this crag you are required to fill out a waiver which is listed above under the "Area Reopened" text.
