Description
The Wailing Wall is a thin, west facing formation with a collection of routes which are mostly 5.10 or harder and often poorly protected.
- Downclimb a 4th class ramp system on the southeast face.
Getting There
There are two ways to approach the Wailing Wall.
1) Hike north past Hidden Tower for roughly 70 meters along the nature trail and wander to the base.
2) Park along the paved Quail Springs Road and hike past the left side of the False Great Burrito.
- Approach time is about 10-15 minutes depending upon the approach chosen.
