Description
The Gatekeeper Wall is the first formation lower than and east of The Watchman. Although this wall is much lower than The Watchman, it's much steeper. This mostly north-facing wall has good rock. The solitude makes this new area a great place to visit.
Getting There
Start near the entrance of the Watchman campground. Take a left branching road. We started up the canyon where the NPS has their shuttle bus storage facility. Follow a pleasant drainage system to a short cliffband. Cut left along the steep hillside to a flat area above the cliffband. From here we traversed back to the right side of the drainage to begin a short, steep brushy section. Above here a grassy talus leads up the base of the wall. Approach time is about 1 1/2 hours.
