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 unnecessarily long and only makes sense if you have a very strong aversion to minor scrambling, as it is possible to stay on dirt 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 slab gully near the end. See the Map on Mountain Project with an approach trail for exact directions. 15-20 minutes.

Western approach:

Follow the approach instructions for The Trophy Wall. Once at the base of Trophy 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. 20-25 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. 30-35 minutes.
