Description Suggest change

This wall is in shade for the winter months, but during other seasons gets afternoon sun. Most routes on this wall are moderate, 5.6-9+.

Getting There Suggest change

As you hike in from the parking area this is the first major wall you come to. There is a large right-facing corner (Vallory's Book) in the middle of the face. Walk down the wash to a tree and there's an obvious user trail up the hill.
