Description 

Facing north-east, just right of the popular Dairy Queen wall is the IRS wall. Similar climbing as on the DQ, with an excellent classic face route on it's south arete, and one of the best 5.10-'s in the whole park.


Getting There 

Approach as for DQ wall, but go right when you reach the base of Alf's Arete Hop over some boulders and follow a well worn path to the base of this wall. Tax Man starts on the right end of the wall, at a flat area with sand and a yucca.
