BETA PHOTO: The Cooler, Left Side 1 The Beginning 5.10a 2 [[10...
Description
East-facing, steep, but not overhanging limestone. Few pockets, but lots of small crimpers and other irregularities.
There are two sections next to each other. A taller face on the north (or right) with one bolted route, and a shorter face uphill on the south (or left) with four bolted routes.
Getting There
Walk up the canyon to the second bridge (a pipe also crosses the stream to the right of the bridge). After crossing the bridge, look right and notice bolts on the rock. This is Hidden Wall.
Continue past Hidden Wall, also passing a single-track trail that leaves the main trail to the right (this trail leads to the base of The Balcony). Another 50 feet or so and there is a rocky drainage slope that meets the main trail on the right. Turn off the main trail here and hike up the scree, staying on the right. A few hundred feet up on the right is The Cooler.
