Description Suggest change

This impressive cliff-band contains high quality, one-pitch climbs which are mostly bolted and relatively long by Calico Hills standards. There is mostly face climbing on angles ranging from slightly under vert to very gentle overhangs.

The wall is almost always in the sun, with the exception of early spring mornings, and the last half hour when the sun dips behind the mountains.

Getting There Suggest change

Head out on the main trail at the southeast corner of the parking lot. Pass by (but don't go down to) The Pier. Shortly afterward the trail will split, with one branch heading straight downhill on the left. Take this branch to reach a low wash. Continue on the trail in the wash until it peters out at a slab on the left. Hike up the slab to a slot, pull a 4th class move or two to overcome the slot, and then continue up along slabs to the base of the walls, generally heading right (east) to reach the majority of the climbs. See the approach map or photos for a visual reference. ~15 minutes if done correctly.

The wall can also be reached from the 2nd pullout by scrambling up to Stratocaster Area and continuing northwest, but this would be a much more lengthy and difficult approach. Most prefer to approach Stratocaster Area by walking past this wall instead.
