The Warm-Up Wall

Arizona > Northern Arizona > Northern AZ Bou… > Flagstaff Bould… > Kelly Canyon > E Kelly Canyon
Warning Access Issue: Fragile Sandstone: Don't Climb Wet Rock DetailsDrop down

Description

A wall of sweeping gashes with roughly a dozen problems all in a row. No names or grades to speak of really, just follow the weaknesses, nothing here is harder than V6. Lots of high cruxes and slippery, slopey mantel topouts keep it exciting.

Getting There

From the Trailer Park, walk left down the canyon for a couple minutes past several tall walls until you see the Warm Up Wall on the right. The Arkansas Wall is directly across the canyon, hidden by trees.

[Hide Comment] I added some route names and descriptions (names are made up, probably all wrong) grades may be off as well. I thought adding some routes would give this wall a bit more visibility, and there are plenty of worthwhile lines out here. Dec 9, 2015

[Hide Comment] Thanks Andrew. I thought adding routes and descriptions might give people more incentive to try this wall, and I think a lot of these lines are really worthwhile. I didn't intend to sandbag the grades. It's hard to nail down a grade on some of these when the top out feels like the crux, so I tried to give grades based on sustained moves rather than the top.
