Description

This small area hosts a fine collection of sea-worthy routes on more excellent Shelf limestone. Located just to the NW of the Mural Wall, this area includes two large, left-facing dihedrals that stay shady until nearly 4 pm, making this a great summer destination. The character of this crag is a bit more old-school than Menses Prow, featuring older-style bolts and runouts.

Getting There

Follow the trail from the old parking lot. Pass a signed trail to the Far Side, continuing on the right/straight fork of the trail. After several minutes, the trail comes to a well-signed T-intersection. Take the right fork (marked Mural Wall). Follow several long switchbacks up the hill to the base of the Mural Wall. Head left along the cliff base, past the left end of the Mural Wall. Continue another 30 yds on a so-so trail to the Fish Wall.
