Description Suggest change

This wall is the prize and the wall that makes Lime Kiln Canyon famous. Great rock, a variety of quality routes from 5.10- to 5.14a with a high concentration of quality 5.12's. 70m and even 80m ropes are useful here, and don't miss out on some of the great multipitch lines such as Raven Nation and Vesper.

Mostly shady. Don't even think about pooping on the ground or under a rock anywhere near here. Bring a wag bag or walk back down to the cars. Please keep your belongings consolidated as real estate is limited at the base of climbs.

Getting There Suggest change

Hike up the trail from the parking - the wall is on your right. 20 minutes.
