Description 

Echo Canyon, further East in another drainage 0.7 miles from Dry Wall. A bolted moderate conglomerate route. the wall is quite isolated despite only a 10 minute approach up the canyon and then a small hillside where Orient Express climbs an arete on Asia. Good quality cobble! Like Maple.


Getting There 

As for Dry Wall, then continue on the frontage road east for about a half mile to a sizeable side canyon with a road that ascends to approx. 300 yards. Some appliance dumping had taken place at the road head. Continue on the trail and head to the best looking crag on the left (west) side and look for bolts up the obvious arete.

I think this Asia crag with the route named Orient Express that Garrett is refering to is located in Pine Canyon. Pine Canyon is less than 1/4 mile east of the south-side of the frontage road parking that is used for the Dry Wall- it is the first canyon you encounter traveling east from the Dry Wall.
