Description Suggest change

The Power Wall has a good concentration of shortish routes, the best of which are in the 11+-5.12 range, and require smaller gear. 

Exposure is primarily west. One rope will suffice for most routes. 

Getting There Suggest change

Park as for Scarface. 2 ways from here: 1) Approximately 50’ upstream from parking, take a dirt path that heads more or less directly towards the Power Wall (smaller buttress looker’s R of Scarface).
2) Go down the well-worn Scarface trail and immediately head R up the wash until intersecting option (1) . Both options bring you to a dirt cone with a cubical boulder and a rutted road on it leading to the crag.
