The Great Wall

Texas > Austin Area > Barton Creek Gr… > New Wall

Description

Great climbing at harder grades than anywhere else on the Greenbelt. Best in late fall to late winter when there's no humidity. Expect to see people (not necessarily crowds) on the weekends and certain nights of the week but most of the time it's not too crowded. A bit polished as are most of the routes that see a lot of action on the Greenbelt but it's climbing and there's some good moves and positions as well as power climbs to be done here!

Getting There

This is the 3rd wall encountered when approaching from Spyglass.   maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=…;hl=en&t=p&msa=0&msid=115373301781539628600.000458134b87a5b287404&z=11
