A singular formation in the canyon, Drone Wall contains eleven lines (ten routes and a project) that range from 5.7 to 5.14a. The location is pleasant, among trees and close to a stream, but it is also a local party spot and needs cleaning up now and again.
The rock formation itself is strange and mushroom-shaped and looks like it is composed of the cast-off remnants of a cave. The rock is very pocketed, quite sharp in places, and of quite curious construction. Parts of it look like a contractor dumped a load of concrete, other parts look like cave limestone, still other parts look like a conglomerate of sorts. There is a lot of guano in various spots, and some of the pockets contain soft material that is likely vegetable in origin, but it's probably best not to inquire too closely.

It's super cool rock. Really fun to climb, and a lots of routes. The only issue (and this was a big issue....) was that there were wasps everywhere. They were crawling in and out of the holes in the rock, so reaching up for a hold or reaching into a pocket felt really sketchy. I don't know if this happens every year.... I would go back in the late fall/winter (The easier wall is in the sun) Aug 23, 2019
