The Secret 13 Wall Rock Climbing

There are three possible approaches to the crag from the south, west, and north. The southern approach is the fastest, most direct, and least exposed. The western approach passes by a few crags (Wake Up, Twinkie, and Trophy), so it may be a good option if you are combining multiple walls in one day. The northern approach is longest and could makes sense if your party has an aversion to minor scrambling, as it is possible to stay on flat dirt/gravel trails the whole way to the crag.

Southern approach (best option):

Follow the Calico Tanks trail out of the Sandstone Quarry parking lot. Continue on the Calico Tanks trail for a few more minutes past this junction until you see a dry creek bed on the left after passing under some tree cover. Continue in this creek bed to a large boulder on top of a slab and take a hard left to stay in the creek bed. Stay in the creek bed almost all the way to the wall, with a short scramble up a chute near the end. After the chute continue up the wash and then a short slab to the bushes at the base of the crag. See the map with the approach trail for additional clarity.

0.7 mi and 300 ft elevation gain, ~20 minutes.

Western approach:

Follow the approach instructions for The Trophy Wall. Once at the base of that wall, continue past it on the downhill slab. Aim for the left side of a narrow break in the slab. Once deposited low into the foliage, head left to the wall.

0.9 mi and 400 ft elevation gain, ~25 minutes.

Northern approach:

Follow the Turtlehead peak trail until the walls diminish and hang a right onto a faint trail, hugging the walls to your right.

1.1 mi and 400 ft elevation gain, ~30 minutes.
