The top half of Connect the Pockets

Description 

Some of the longer climbs in the park. The wall is solid 5.8 - 5.9 territory with suprisingly aestethic climbing. Just be sure the first person up isn't afraid of spiders...

All climbs have bolt anchors at the top, and there are chains near the north east corner for rapelling if you aren't comfortable downclimbing the approach.

This wall is shaded the entire day, which is why there will almost always be a few climbers on this wall when it's hot out.


Getting There 

Follow the trail from the parking lot past the overlook and down the stairs. Take a left when the trail forks and head into the long, obvious canyon ahead. The wall is to your right and opposes the Main Canyon Left wall.

To access the top to set an anchor head to the end of the canyon, pass through the narrow slot and into a smaller canyon on your right. Climb to the top of the rubble, then chimney up the last few feet to gain the top.
