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

The climbing on Radical Wall is a little mix of everything. Cramps is very short juggy overhang, Wasp is low angle trad, Rad is a thought provoking face climb, and S&M requires power and finger strength. Both Cramps and Rad are probably the best climbs on this wall and some of the better climbs at New Canyon.

Getting There

Radical Wall starts about 60 paces from the top of the middle access trail as Bulge Wall wraps around a soft corner in front of a large tree. The left end of Radial Wall is identified by Cramps which has a large roof at the top and some interesting water stains on a featureless face below. See the topo on the main page for directions.
