Description 

The Fire Wall is an 80-120 foot south facing cliff perched high on Bill Williams Mountain. The rock is crusty and lichenous, but offers several long, visually pleasing lines. Because of the rugged mountain setting and exposure, the cliff feels wild, remote and adventurous, even though it's only 10 minutes from the car. Unfortunately, the rock quality at this wall is a little unsavory at times. The exposure and views, however, validate the climbing experience. A helmet is a good idea. Just a few routes to date, but more lines are possible.


Getting There 

Follow FR 111 past the Finger Rock sign about a 1/4 mile until you reach the next switchback in the road. Park here. The top of the cliff can be seen to the east. Scramble UP loose embankment to locate the trail that traverses to the cliff. 10 minutes.
