Main Wall- Upper Tier

Description 

This is mostly a south facing basalt crag with trad and sport routes that are exposed and fun. This gets sun most of the day and is subject to winds because of the nature of the location.

Getting There 

Once in White rock, turn south on Rover and continue slightly past Rover Park and then take a right on Kimberly. Follow Kimberly to the end of the culdisac and park. The descent is not obvious. From the cul-de-sac on Kimberly, walk SE to the bench and plaque sign. The descent is about 60' west of the plaque- it is the only place that looks possible. Descend exposed 4th class down blocks and hand cracks about 15'. Then traverse to the east on a 2' ledge around a corner followed by easier scramble downwards. This gets you to most of the rock climbs here. Rappelling is a good choice for beginners, or if you want to bring your pack to the base.

There's a rap anchor to get down to the Western Wall.
