Description
The Hueco Wall is a backcountry crag with a high concentration of moderates, the perfect destination for the 5.10 climber, as all but a handful of its routes fall into that rating. The routes at Hueco Wall utilize deep pockets and huecos on a vertical to gently overhanging formation, similar to the routes found at Malibu Creek State Park. The routes are fun and worth the long hike.
The Hueco Wall is the ideal summer destination as the wall is in the shade most of the day.

The wall is still chossy, but all the bolts we used looked good.
My overall rating of the area is "ok". Good wilderness setting, bouldery movement, slightly overhanging rock, interesting and challenging climbing, most likely you'll have the place to yourself. Approach is a bit long, wall is a bit short and chossy. Sep 19, 2011

I TR soloed for a little bit and then turned back since the weather didn't look too promising. The wall was a lot of fun, a little chossy, but to be expected for how remote this spot is. Doing the approach solo with a pack full of too much gear definitely wore me down a bit, but it was absolutely worth it for the views and great climbing. Thanks for the info about the anchors guys, it was really helpful. Jan 15, 2012

The approach is 2.5 miles with maybe 1000' of elevation gain getting up to Sandstone peak. The first 2.4 miles is on the well established Backbone trail. You can't miss the wall on your right (located about 1 mile past Sandstone peak). Take your time finding the path off the main trail and up to the wall. There is a semi-well established climber's trail up to the wall. If you are bush-whacking, you went the wrong way.
All of the climbs are relatively the same (lots of pockets, good feet, just a bit of overhang and pump, 90/10 solid to choss ratio) except Nature/Nurture on the far right are a bit more bouldery, and Roadrash in the center of the wall is very soft for the grade and has more of a 70/30 ratio.
Believe in yourself. Do all 14 routes (took us about 10.5 hours with the approach/deproach). There will be times of doubt.
Climb on,

Nice hike in (for those who like hiking) and the wall remained shady until we left around 3:00 PM. Apr 10, 2017
