Access Issue: Do Not Climb On or Around Rock Shelters and Pictographs Details

17th century rock shelters and pictographs exist in this area. Climbers must be mindful of these cultural resources and avoid climbing on or around them. In June 2024 it was discovered that two new routes had been bolted in or near these resources next to the Roof Wall. The routes will be removed per the forest service.

Description

As the name states, Power Wall contains powerful climbing on thin crips and slightly overhanging rock. Lights Out, in the middle of the wall, is one of the best climbs at New Canyon. Dave’s Face is also really good.

There are a couple top ropes on the far right side of Power Wall towards the large tree, Dizze 5.9 on the right, and The Ise Man 5.11b on the left closer to Learning to Fly.

Getting There

Power wall starts just to the left of the south access trail and goes until the 2-3 foot wide overhanging crack to the left of Dave’s Face. See the area topo on the main page for directions. The large broken boulders in the middle of the wall are under The Royal Robbins Chiselfest.
