DescriptionSunday Wall is probably the most visited crag in Unaweep Canyon and for good reason. It hosts both sport and trad climbs up to 5 pitches long, on excellent gneiss/granite, ranging from 5.6 to 5.12+. Most routes follow steep cracks or blank looking faces. Sport routes are difficult and exciting, trad routes are asthetic and fun, but take a little getting used to. Getting ThereDrive West from Divide Road for 2.2miles and look for a large dirt pull-out, on the right hand side of the road, with a visible "Access Fund" sign, it's pretty easy.

Featured Route For Sunday Wall
Upper Deck 0.5 5.11 CO : Grand Junction area : ... : Sunday Wall
We thought the rock is a bit lichen covered, this will clean up to be a great route. The crux comes high up before the anchors on the light colored rock. This arching climbs offers great position and unique moves. It is probably the best of the three on the Upper Deck. Start in the obvious corner that is left of the pinyon pine. Place some gear and/or clip a head. Mantle up and clip bolts as they arc left. Make a few moves straight up over a bulge and piece together the thin crux before the end!...[more] Browse More Classics in CO
