The Traverse Wall

Colorado > Lyons > St Vrain Canyons > N Fork of the S… > Big Elk Meadows - Bou…

Description

The Traverse Wall is a nice wall, and right on the trail, hosting mostly moderate problems. The landing is perfectly flat, but topping out is still a committing 12 to 15 ft off the ground. The rock is solid and the problems provide a good warm ups for The Sanctuary or the Dragon's Den.

Getting There

Hike along the creek trail passing the turn for the Dragon's Den. The Traverse Wall hangs over the trail, not more than 15 minutes from the car.

[Hide Comment] APPROACH: when there's water in the creek, the Traverse Wall is a solid >10 minutes past the Dragon's Den River bend. Keep walking, you can't miss it as it is right on the water. The Sanctuary is actually about 10-15 minutes past Traverse Wall. May 12, 2020
