Description

Lost Bandana Wall is probably the most popular spot at Little Granite Mountain for climbing (of course this is all relative). Easily accessible and with a number of routes, it is a favorite for groups to come and spend the day. The southern exposure makes it a good winter spot, but conversely turns it into an oven in early fall and late spring.

You can scramble to the top of the wall (or off the wall) via it's right (east) end with a short bit of 4th class climbing.

Getting There

Lost Bandana Wall is accessed from the large Granite Mountain Trailhead, just off of 136th Street about 2 miles south of E Rio Verde Drive. From the lot, take the Powerline Trail straight west 0.6 mile to the Granite Mountain Trail. Turn right (north) and follow that trail 0.3 mile to the Granite Mountain Loop Trail. Turn left (west) and take that trail as it winds west and north around a hill. As you get around the hill, you will see Lost Bandana Wall up a short valley to the north/northeast. Total approach is around 1.4 miles with 364 feet of elevation gain.
