Description Suggest change

Sister crag to the Hideout, the Great Wall has a good assortment routes for beginners to experts. The lines tend to be shorter than at the Hideout but rock quality is excellent. There's a good day's worth of climbing between the two walls.

Getting There Suggest change

From the parking lot take the North trail, making a left to follow the gravel valley floor road. Stay right at a fork in the road and cross a bridge. Pass the trailheads for Animal Crackers and The Hideout then be on the lookout for a sign for the great wall near a stone pit toilet. The trail that leads to the Great wall will be on your right. 

If you're already at the Hideout, continue left down the trail past International Route of Pancakes for a couple hundred feet until you reach  La Escalada, the first route at the Great Wall.
