Description Suggest change

The Trail Side Wall, as I call it, is located east of the road below Cloud Shadow. You can make the traverse as long as you want, but its more difficult uphill. There are several variations to the traverse as well as numerous problems that go straight up on solid rock. Located on the west side of the wall, this area is shaded by ponderosa and is just overhanging enough that it doesn't get snowed on. The landings, which are on the trail, are decent; bring a pad, and watch out for steps and roots. The lower half has better problems and flatter landings.

Getting There Suggest change

Just after Cookie Jar Rock, park on the right side below Cloud Shadow where the trail crosses the road. You can also park at Capstan Rock and walk downhill past Cloud Shadow.
