Description 

The Trophy wall sits in the Northern section of the sandstone quarry area. Steep routes on white rock make this stage-like area a steep-wall climbers dream. Many pre-hung draws and long routes on perfect stone make this a great area to climb! Beware the sun... the wall is positioned to receive direct sunlight almost year 'round.


Getting There 

From the parking area, follow the main northerly trail into the wash. Once you reach the sign for "Turtlehead Peak" take a left on this trail. and walk about 500 yards up the trail. Pass the long rock formation called the "Twinkie" (which is on the right) and take the very next wash past and to the right of the Twinkie Keep going past the beautiful, smooth wavy south facing rockand you will eventually be in the drainage next to the Avian Wall. The "Avian Wall" directly faces the Trophy Make your way up and left through the drainage to a solid rock platform, and the steep, pocketed face is unmistakably located right in front of you.

This crag is in need of some rebolting. Beware those heading out there- the first bolt and about the 4th bolt on the Trophy are quite bad. The second bolt on the route to the left of Powder Dry is bad also- there was some white tape around it today to warn people.
