Access Issue: Minimize passing through private property. Details

Access via Big Cottonwood Canyon leaves little other options other than passing through private property and people's back yards to access the steep north facing hillside up to Powder Ridge Wall or Native American Crag.
The other and longer approach is via Ferguson Canyon.

Description

This gets more shade than Powder Ridge Wall. As one looks up from the mouth of Big Cottonwood Canyon to the south. Powder Ridge Wall is near the ridge line though being entirely in Big Cottonwood Canyon. The next rock formation to the East is Native American Crag. It is the first granite one encounters after he quartzite.

Getting There

To Powder Ridge Wall as per Gregorio Martinez instructions. The other shorter, albeit steeper approach is parking in the residential neighborhood in Big Cottonwood Canyon, crossing private property and ascending the steep trail-less hillside (some deer trails). After arriving about 200 feet under the Powder Ridge Wall, a fairly good trail comes into play. Some trail work has been done that leads Eastward over to the Native American Crag. Once on this trail, about 5-10 minutes further east from Powder Ridge Wall brings the climber to the base of the crag.
