Description Suggest change

Despite the fact this area contains some excellent walls and routes, it is not quite as popular as other areas such as Seismic or New Wall. This area is well shaded.

Getting There Suggest change

The Gus Fruh entry point is near 2642 Barton Hills Dr, Austin, TX 78704.  Park on the street and take the trail down to the creek. Cross the creek and take a right on the trail on the far side. The first wall that one encounters will be Gus Fruh, followed by Myth Wall, then C. Kingdom of Ging, then Rubber Wall, and finally E. Guide's Wall (C. Kingdom of Ging is notable for its large cave about 7' high that runs the length of the base of the wall).
