Description Suggest change

This wall is adjacent to the Health Wall, and separated from it by a prominent arete. Look for Joe's Crack, a prominent handcrack that splits the wall and is clearly visible from a distance. If in doubt, look for the "benny silva" graffito chiseled into the rock at eye level.

Getting There Suggest change

Follow directions to the Original Area. Benny Silva is where most of the footpaths take you.
