Description

Routes range 5.10b through 5.13. Except for the 10b, all routes have either steep-feet powerful starts, or interesting/cruxy starts.

The wall has the funnest traverse in the universe, protected on fixed chains to eliminate cleaning requirements. Because of its unsual endurance requirements for central Texas, it's challenging for most area climbers up to 5.12, while its lack of power cruxes leaves it workable by 5.10+ climbers.

Getting There

Cross the bridge, turn left, descend the fixed metal ladders, then walk down and clockwise to the wall.
