Roof Pendant 5.11+  CO : Grand Junction area : ... : Paleosol Wall
This is a great, bouldery route that houses 4 roofs. Face climb and layback a left-facing corner up to a good undercling crack that takes hand-sized gear. Stem up and clip a bolt before making some interesting body tension moves to gain another undercling. Layback the undercling and move right to gain a sloping arete and a decent rest. Pull up into the fat fingers roof (#0.5 Camalot), and square up for the next fingers roof (#0.4 Camalot). Above the fingers roof you are rewarded...[more]   Browse More Classics in CO

Thanks, BJ! All the work you guys did up at The Narrows helped inspire the development of this area. Cheers.

Is this area really closed between Dec 1st - May 1st ?
Or is there another way to access other than Kannah Creek > Land's End?

After the gate is locked on Land's End, you may still be able to access the areas from CO Highway 65 (I'm not sure where the gate is on top). I was climbing on Paleosol Wall until the end of November, and as long as the temps were in the 50s in GJ, it stays pretty comfortable. Keep in mind locating the rap stations can be more than a little sketchy with snow on the ground!
