The Hood and The Balcony can technically be accessed via the North Loop trail, though this would be a ludicrously long approach.

Description
The Imagination Wall is the massive wall located directly south of the Trail Canyon Trailhead parking lot in Kyle Canyon. The blue-gray and yellow wall reaches over 300 feet in some places and the climbing is mostly vertical or just off vertical. The holds are often small water runnels or edges, unlike the pockets at the Hood.
Getting There
Park at the Trail Canyon Trailhead parking lot or along the dirt road leading to the Mary Jane Falls Trailhead lot. The approach is closer to the Trail Canyon parking than it is to the SE corner of the Mary Jane lot. There's a big dirt lot blocked off by a few large boulders with a sign for the old rope tow on it, and the rope tow pylons begin at the SE corner of this dirt lot.
To reach the wall, hike up along the pylons. Many are bent over completely. At the end you'll find a large metal box thing on your left (which was the end of the rope tow?). Keep hiking up the wash, there are a few trails here all of which seemed to go to the same spot more or less. Eventually you'll reach a spot shortly before the end of the cliff. There was a rather large cairn in the middle of the wash marking the spot. From here you'll follow a steep trail with switch backs to the base of the cliff. There was a single bolt (we didn't see any others above it to mark an actual route) on the rock directly in front of us just as we arrived. To the left a bit will be the steep incline as indicated by the guidebook.
