Description
This is a pretty, green and black, vertically striped wall. A roof spans the main section about one third of the way up. The rock is exceptionally bulletproof. Five routes are on the main described wall proper, and two more are located a little way to the right.
Getting There
Park in the farthest south lot on the old Castlewood Canyon Road in the lower canyon. A trail heads out of the south end of the lot to the east, which is taken to the Creekbottom Trail. Take the Creekbottom Trail south and leave the trail to cross the creek just above the waterfall. Head up the hill, to the east, to the rim. Follow the rim south to Seaworld, which is between The C Section (a.k.a. Hedgeclipper Area) and The Vulture Walls.
