Description Suggest change

This area extends from the Dog Walkdown to the right (climbers left).

There are some excellent crack climbs here, as well as face lines, of all difficulties from 5.6 to 5.12+. Since it faces roughly west, this area is good on summer mornings and afternoons in the cooler seasons. The rock here is generally great, but some lines have a bit more lichen than those on the East Main Bluff.

The order of the areas from the Dog Walkdown to the left, as seen from below, is:

Warrior Wall

Last Chance Wall

Wall of the Unclimbables

Outback Wall

Down Under Wall

Seed Wall

Freak Brothers Wall

House of His Healing Presence

Karp Wall

ET Walls

Getting There Suggest change

The best access is via the Dog Walkdown. The trail to the walkdown is found about 1/3 of the way between the entrance to the parking lot and the circle drive. At the bottom of the walkdown, head right around the corner to the first open area, where you can see two steep cracks about halfway up.
