Chocolate Wall

California > Los Angeles Basin > Santa Monica Mo… > Echo Cliffs

Description

The north/west facing wall in the next dihedral south (right) of the Java Wall dihedral. Shady in the morning and late afternoon. The rock quality is a little questionable in places (which is typical of echo) - many holds are glued on and/or flex and belayers should watch out for the occasional loose rock.

Getting There

Continue south (right) along the cliff base from the Java Wall.
