Scheelite Wall

Description

Cracks, corners, and slabs. The routes here are very seldom climbed. Watch for loose sections, but for the most part the granite is of high quality. Extensions exist on most routes, as you encounter tier after tier for thousands of feet. There is much to be discovered...
