The Western Wall Area is home to some of the finest rock and some of the the longest routes in the Alabama Hills. Approximately 10 different crags make up the area.

Follow Movie Road North from Whitney Portal Road. The Western Wall area is located on the left-hand side just before Movie Road hangs a 90-degree right and heads East away from the mountains.

[Hide Comment] Actually I would consider The Western Wall in the Tall Wall area. Truffle Tower, The Loaf and The Hoodgie Wall would be in the Meatloaf Cave area. Where Meatloaf made his video. Jul 29, 2010

[Hide Comment] Anyone know about the cave (project?) route just north of the Tall Wall? We were scrambling to go see the Diamondblade and saw some chain anchors hanging in a cave. Explored it and found a 5 bolt route that traverses the bottom of a chockstone between two walls. Very cool. Many hangs bolt-to-bolt for me to get it sussed out. Some very friable sections that need to be worked around, but it all goes. Would like to know more from the mad genius who put this up. Apr 19, 2021
