Description 

Centrally located in the Ampitheatre, the Claim Jumper Wall is a tall northwest-facing wall with a variety of fun, well-featured routes and a minimal approach, making it a popular destination. With numerous routes from 5.7 to 5.11c, a good day can be spent here chasing the sun/shade depending upon the weather and/or the crowds.

Of the twenty or so routes on the wall, One Armed Bandit (5.10a), Claim Jumper (5.10a), Coyotes In The Hen House (5.10d) and Brewed Awakening (5.11b) are among the best and come highly recommmended.

Located in the Ampitheatre, this wall is easily approached from the northern parking area by way of several trails in the vicinity of the Motherlode Wall.

If approaching from the south, pass Camp Rock and head into the Ampitheatre from the west passing along the south side of the Claimjumper Wall.
