Approach to Upper Tiers Periodic Table

To reach top of the H2O wall, or continue on to Helium Wall and the other sections of the Mid-Wall, start by finding a cairn at bottom of talus field next to picnic table. Follow faint trail as it contours the talus field towards a break in the rock on top of H2O wall. Once on top, look for another cairn and follow trail that busts through thick bushes and trees sidehilling towards the open gully to the east of the Periodic Table fin. Follow switch backs and game trails until you reach another cairn that marks the point where you'll want to sidehill through the bush back towards the fin. You'll reach a fixed line that will assist the way up and down a short easy, but dirty 5th class section. After skirting the corner, this will deposit you on the "sidewalk" belay ledge of Helium Wall.
