Warning Access Issue: IMPORTANT notes on Wet Rock and Human Waste DetailsDrop down

Description Suggest change

This nice wall faces primarily southwest, but has some different aspects to it. Though there is generally lots of sun from late morning on, certain routes get more sun/shade than others.

The rock is mostly good and varies from thin to juggy, from slabby to steep, and has good routes across disciplines and styles starting at about 5.11. Though most of these are sport, there area a few trad lines available as well.

Getting There Suggest change

Approach as for Running Man Wall, continuing southeast (right) along the slabs at the base of the wall. ~20 minutes if done correctly.

The wall can also be approached with more difficulty from The Gallery and Wall of Confusion by scrambling northwest. Not too far distance-wise, but a little tricky to find the right way and can involve a few fifth class moves depending on the route taken.
