Description Suggest change

The Main Wall is the largest formation at Promontory and is easily identified as the large "wave" of rock facing the ocean.

All of the routes from Humboldt Current > Great White are steep, featured, and fun.  However, they also have a tendency to be sandy (or very sandy), and although the big holds are solid, some of the smaller holds are fragile.  If you break anything, just consider it doing your part to clean up the routes!

Getting There Suggest change

Walk north from the parking area and look for the largest overhanging crag.
