Description

The Fire Wall is an 80-120 foot south facing cliff perched high on Bill Williams Mountain. The rock is crusty and lichenous, but offers several long, visually pleasing lines. Because of the rugged mountain setting and exposure, the cliff feels wild, remote and adventurous, even though it's only 10 minutes from the car. Unfortunately, the rock quality at this wall is a little unsavory at times. The exposure and views, however, validate the climbing experience. A helmet is a good idea. Just a few routes to date, but more lines are possible.

Getting There

Follow FR 111 past the Finger Rock sign about a 1/4 mile until you reach the next switchback in the road. Park here. The top of the cliff can be seen to the east. Scramble UP loose embankment to locate the trail that traverses to the cliff. The trail goes by an old lone pine about half way across the slope, and uses a downed tree to get through a thorny vegetated area. 10 minutes.****UPDATE**** After 2 years, the trail that David and I cleared to the cliff has re-sprouted new, waste high thorn saplings. If you want to visit this cliff, I highly recommend hedge trimmers or clippers to snip the thorns in the trail. Wear pants.
