Description
Walk up forested ledge towards Meadow and Spicer. Near the crest, about 30' from that route, cut left and down slightly on the obvious ledge.
P1: Walk the above ledge. From the end of the ledge go up to the base of a clean corner (5.5).
P2: Climb the clean, large left-facing corner. Sustained. Traverse out the roof (pumpy) to a rest. Then climb the wide crack with face holds on the main Duck Wall face. Some excitement as you approach the fixed anchor (5.10).
P3: Traverse right and up to the base of a roof band.
P4: Traverse left, just under the roof band (5.10d).
P5: Go up, trending right to the top. This pitch can be combined with P4.
Rap from here, or rap down Meadow and Spicer (top rap of the latter is a tree).

Location
Take the trail to Duck Wall. Where the trail meets the wall (at the large right-facing corner), trend right on a treed ledge system. The trail should have a fixed line near the start, and another one near the end (which goes up to Meadow and Spicer). The route starts just before this second fixed line.
