Description & Guide Book Beta (see NOTE:) 

Rock quality is solid and featured with many edges making it a wonderful destination for beginners or people looking to get some mileage in.

This area is often crowded but provides many routes to chose from between 5.6 - 5.10 c/d.

Bolted anchors primarily of closed shuts but some chains exist. PLEASE use your own draws for top roping to avoid unnecessary wear on anchors.
South Facing Wall with many easy to moderate routes. Rock quality and routes much better than appear at first glance from the road.

NOTE: Southern CA Sport Climbing Guide 3rd edition topo is incorrect. Page 213 indicates topo numbering does not match route description numbers.

Adjust accordingly - Per topo route #763 going up the mid-crag pinnacle is #764 "Three Giant Steps". Shift all routes left or right as needed.


Getting There 

Drive in towards main parking area passing the turn offs for Predator Wall and Roadside Crag. Shortly thereafter the road splits and providing a parallel passage - look for large concrete slab in front of a busted out spray painted boulder. Park there. The crag is located directly behind that area with easily identifiable trails.

There Goes the Neighborhood 5.8  CA : High Desert : ... : Boy Scout Wall
This is the first route on the West side of the rock, I think. The Mayr guide is confusing.It's a fun, easy route and the 5.8 rating is really generous, I think it's more like 5.6. climb past three bolts, then up and right past another bolt to a two-bolt anchor.Draws....[more]   Browse More Classics in CA

Morbid trivia: The concrete slab in front of Boy Scout Wall has the distinction of being the site of the first homicide in 2007 in San Bernardino County. The shooting occurred at 15 minutes after midnight on January 1.

Good for cruising indeed, and good for the ego. The route grading on this wall is very generously soft.

Can anyone tell me if these routes can be set up for TR i.e. easy approach to the anchors at the top?

It is called the "BoyScout Wall" for a reason, after all... it ain't called NangaParbat

Easy answer yes. You might need to do about 12ft of 5.2 on the solo, but I recall easy summit access from climbers right. Way left might work too.... or maybe right up the back? I don't think it will be any problem.

The "Boy Scout Wall" faces North-Northeast. It is located adjacent to the Group Campsite, approximately 150 yards from the end of the main road, on the right [west] side of the main road, just prior to reaching crossfire crag.

I added the previous comment because I found it the beta for locating the Boy Scout Wall incorrect. It is NOT a south facing wall, no spray panted boulder and concrete slab is visible. The wall faces North-Northeast, and presumably where the concrete slab was previously located is now occupied by the group campsite, easily identifiable on the Sawtooth camping map, right side of main road 150 yards from the end.
