Description 

The Kung Fu Theatre is located at the west end of the north-facing Tunnel Wall. Lots of shade and climbable during warmer temps. This is a nice cragging area with routes ranging from 1 - 4 pitches mostly in the 5.10-5.11 range.

Getting There 

Park at the last switchback before the Mt. Carmel Tunnel on the west side. Follow a climbers trail that switchbacks up the hillside and then continues west near the base of the wall. There is a long corner that arches right into a roof, this is the most prominent feature in the area and a good landmark. The route Kung Fu Fighter starts here.
