Description
There are a number of named sections along the Foster Falls trail; some are based on a noticeable geographic boundary, but many are arbitrary. The four routes listed here are not part of any named section.
The sections listed below run from right to left as you face the cliff, starting from where the trail ascends to the cliff from the suspension bridge at the base of the falls:
White Wall
So What Area
Crime Buttress
Right Bunker
Left Bunker
The Dihedrals
Jimmywood
Gutbuster Area
Sanford Wall
Rocket Slab
Rehab Slab
Snatch Wall
Red Light District
Zone 3 (aka Dog Boy Village)
Getting There
From the parking lot, follow the lower climbers trail below the falls; cross the creek and continue to the White Wall area. Or follow the upper trail above the falls (Fiery Gizzard Trail), then use one of two access trails on the left to get down to the cliff base.
[Hide Comment] Id love to see this "Main Wall" broken up into different areas. Id be willing to help. How can it get done? FYI -The three routes on Rehab Slab were really, really fun.

[Hide Comment] Admin, please subdivide the "main wall" into its respective areas so that the site is easier to navigate. Or else allow someone else to do it.
[Hide Comment] Grouping everything into "Main Wall" makes this page almost completely useless. PLEASE organize or allow it to be organized into sectors.

[Hide Comment] I'd like to echo the other comments about subdividing this area. I am willing to help. There are three administrators, people have been asking since 2010. Where are you?
