Description

As the name implies this wall faces west/southwest. The wall wall grow to a height of 100+' very quickly as one descends the trail from after leaving the old two track road. There are a handfull of climbs on the first section of cliff you will encounter. The rock tends to be steeper slabs and the exfoliated nature of Raspberry Rocks can be quite pronouced in this area. There is potential for more new routing on this section of the formation.
