Description
The Left Hand Wall features a variety of moderate sport, mixed, and trad lines. Since the style of these routes varies, parties should be cognizant of when gear is required.
The rock tends to be less-than-vertical with horizontal banding. Similar to the rest of the Hairpin Turn Area the rock is a bit chossy. As such the climber should move with awareness and helmets are recommended for belayers. One should also be on the lookout for bee activity. There is a known hive nearby and there has been a serious attack.
This wall is sunny until mid-afternoon.
