Description Suggest change

A number of fun, short moderate cracks exist on the featured face, and as a result the DQ Wall is a popular and often crowded destination.

To descend, scramble northwest down a chimney/slot (easy 5th class) that runs along the face of the wall.

Getting There Suggest change

Park at the designated Hemingway parking area along Quail Springs Road and approach via the signed Access Fund trail to the south (just behind the restroom). Although fairly short, there is some scrambling involved in the approach which may be challenging for beginners.
