Description
The Crimpfest Wall is the effective continuation of the Headstone after descending South from Rock Nazi. The wall is vertical overall, but presents several roof and corner systems. All of the routes are close to or more than 100 ft long, so bring a 60m rope or two ropes. The climbing is strenuous, thin, crimpy, technical and brilliant. Most routes are 5.12 or upper 5.11. While every route can be done with QD alone, there are some places where a Friend will ease the spook factor. I would carry a full rack of camming devices from small TCUs to # 3 or # 4 Friends. There isn't a bad route on the wall, so just bring the guns and queue up for a crimpfest.
Getting There
From the Zinn Overlook, take a faint trail down and left, heading directly toward the most imposing crag in sight. Cross a small talus field to the base of The Headstone. Follow the trail right (South) along the Headstone until it drops underneath a large detached boulder at the base of Rock Nazi. Continue downhill for 200 ft to the base of the wall and a perfect tanning slab. Routes start in a dark gully on the left and extend rightward for 200 ft.
