Description

This area contains a handful of moderate and long sport routes, with mostly vertical technical climbing.

Getting There

Take the upper trail from the upper parking lot. After a 5-10 minutes you'll pass by the right side of Diamondback. Don't jog left at this point - stay on the Grand Canyon trail, following the signs when appropriate. Eventually you'll see that you're starting down the left side of a canyon, and soon you'll pass right through the base of The Terraces, which will be on your left. From there, continue down the path to the Tottering Pillar area.

If you want to climb the Tottering Pillar proper, you have to rap from the top, as the bottom third is loose as all hell. There are some quality, attractive lines on the Pillar proper, but due to the inconvenience most of the climbing in this area happens on the Bottom Line Wall.
