Description 

Probably the most crowded area at the Lower Wall on nice summer days, the Main Wall also has the highest route density and many awesome high-quality routes.


Getting There 

Approach as for the Great Northern Slab, but follow the trail right along the base of the cliff.



Featured Route For Main Wall
Shifting to headpoint in the middle of a Model Worker redpoint. <br /><br />K Miller is about to clip an upside down knifeblade(left draw) and two opposed, brass, micro-nuts(right draw). This crux pro is all delicately slipped under a thin flake that eventually requires yarding on like the Incredible Hulk. <br /><br />Only needed a small hit of traditude since there's an unseen bolt at Kirk's waste. <br /><br /><br />

Model Worker 5.11c  WA : Index Town Walls : Main Wall
This terrific pitch is best done as one long pitch, skip the first anchors where there used to be a stump(thanks for removing this!!!) The crux is just before the first bolt on the upper section, and is protected by small cams or nuts. Although, I think the lower part is just as hard. This climb is probably damn near impossible for short people, unless you are good at sideways shoulder wrenching dynos....[more]
