Description

North facing wall featuring a handful of routes, including the gorgeous Amarillo Sunset.

Getting There

Park in Sore Heel lot. Hike the SE Trail that crosses the stream. Follow trail until the wall starts cutting south(facing east) then turn right and pass by The Shire. When you see a huge intimidating wall with an orange stripe you are there.

Absolutely stunning route! Its the only rome going up a beautiful water mark. Gets cruxy at the top when the feet disappear but definitely doable route. Im on 5'8 too and I did it. So don't let the big moves get you thinking you can't do it! Its fun. Be ready for a big fall after the last bolt before the anchors if you don't get it! Dec 14, 2011
