Description 

Morrell's Wall lies in between the Sven Slab area and Gardener's Wall. It's fairly up on the side of the slope and the approach is a bit of a grunt. It seems to have fallen somewhat out of favor over the last few years, probably because of the access issues due to Arizona being up for sale to the highest bidder. There are some good routes up there that are worth the hike.


Getting There 

If you drive in as for Gardeners Wall, you will see a faint track on the left before you get to that turnoff. This can be followed south to the Morrell's Wall. I'm not sure about the legality of this drive-in, so you're on your own.

A great line hidden from sight. Technically a 3 pitch route it's best to skip the first pitch and link 2 and 3. Starts in a wide chimney with a flake inside of it for good gear and perfect hand jams. About 35ft up exit left off jugs to a short corner. Above is a set of bolted anchors, skip those and aim for the furthest right crack which is actually a big flake that becomes overhanging towards the top, mantle where the crack dies out, take a breather, clip a bolt and surmount the easy final bulg...[more]   Browse More Classics in AZ

Approach beta - once you get to the "parking area" follow the double track towards the wall. Follow the track as it turns left and seems to dead end. Continue up the slope in the same direction until you gain the left hand ridge. Follow this ridge, which has a cairned trail on it, up to the wall. We didn't do this, and headed straight up the gut towards the wall. Heinous. We discovered the correct way on the way down.

Much appreciated Sun2Stone! This wall has been needing a make-over for a while now. At some point it would be prudent for someone to replace the aging protection bolts on these climbs as well.
