A. The Gallery

Illinois > Jackson Falls > B. W Falls

Description

The area receives sun almost all day, and is one of the first areas to dry out after a rain. The climbs in this area are consistently good, although sometimes similar in nature. Check out the area classic, Group Therapy for a lesson in pump or battle one of the areas ubiquitous bulges just around the corner on Cut/Sore/Deep Throat. Try to avoid gear sprawl on the trail here, as this is a fairly high traffic area.

Getting There

Approach from the North Falls by either rappelling or downclimbing and keep the rock on your right. The Gallery begins after a low roof with a ledge underneath and continues around the corner.

Or descend the dog walk, walk up canyon to the lovely tower, then follow the trail left across the canyon directly to the gallery.
