Description 

This is another shady NW facing wall that is often less crowded than other walls. Most of the lines on this wall are very featured faces containing lots of iron bands.

Follow this trail uphill through muddy patches to your first turn off to the right. Turn right and head towards the wall. The trail here meets the wall by Delayed Gratification.
