A remote wall that is seldom visited for its lack of easier quality lines. There are probably a few very difficult lines to be had here but few people venture here.
The book describes the route as thin hands to tips, but it really goes thin hands to tips and then gradually widens to big hands. There is one drilled pin in the middle, right before the tips. ...[more]
Can anybody give me more specifics on where to park for Cliffs of Insanity and where the approach trail starts. Bloom's guide does not seem to give definitive info. I was trying to scope the approach a couple years back but could not find the trail. I want to avoid slogging/eroding up the talus sans trail if possible.
I approached from the North side on a very faint trail and walked along the base of the wall and eventually around to the Wiggins face. While there, I saw three different groups approach, all from various points between the Meat Walls and where I started. No one seemed to feel great about their approach or followed a distinct trail. It seemed like the best bet was to pick what route you wanted to climb first and approach from the closest possible parking area to that route.
