2nd Meat Wall

Description 

This was once an obscure Indian Creek crag, but has now become quite popular due to an abundance of shady routes that are great for hot weather. Marco's I.C. guide is useful for getting oriented, but there are lots of newer routes, especially around the north side, that are not in his guide.

Getting There

The road is poor, but my Corolla makes it to the parking area for 2nd Meat (but not Original Meat). These days there is a pretty good trail that deposits you at the base of T-Bones Tonight and Tube Steaks Tomorrow.
