Description

This area is approximately 1 mile west of Camp 4. The popular base routes get afternoon shade.

Getting There

Approximately 0.8 miles west from Camp 4 there is a large pullout on the left side of the road. The pullout holds around 10 cars and has a split-rail wood fence. Park here and walk about 100 yards into the woods to the base of the wall at a point where the wall is nearest the road. There is no obvious trail, but you may find a system of cairns. You will enounter the wall near the toe of the Lower Brother.
