Description

The Dairy Queen Wall is located left of Hemingway and the IRS Wall and behind Playhouse Rock and is seen as a large wall with an attractive left and right sides and a somewhat junky looking center portion.

Getting There

Park as for Hemingway Buttress, in the large, paved parking area and follow the signed Access Fund trail towards Hemingway and then cut left to near the base of the wall.

Alternately, one can park as for Playhouse Rock, near the Milepost, and follow the marked trail to Playhouse and then cut right to reach the same point near the base of the wall.

Once at the base a bit of scrambling is required to access the base of the wall proper. Plan on 15-20 minutes from the car.
