The One Wall

Description 

The One Wall is a beautiful 55ft sheet of overhanging dacite high on Mt. Elden, overlooking the Flag Mall and East Flag. There are five routes with the possibility of a few variations. All routes have fixed draws(except for Sparks - a short and viscious angling tips crack) and lowering anchors.

Getting There 

Drive to the top of Mt. Elden and park at the pullout and gate a couple hundred yards from the radio towers and lookout tower. Hike up near the summit and locate the Elden Lookout Trail. Hike down the Lookout trail, but leave it behind when you reach the obvious ridgeline that heads northeast. Follow this ridge on a faint trail, passing one ridge that forks to the right. Continue along ridge and boulderhop down to a viewpoint. Cut down the gully to the right, and then cut left at the first opportunity through a passage in the rocks. Continue down just a little further and the wall will appear on your right. 30 minutes from truck.
