Indian Creek Raptor Closure walls include: Echos, The Wall, Far Side, Original Meat, Tenderloins, Second Meat, First Meat, Selfish, Six Star, Cliffs of Insanity, Public Service Wall, Disappointment Cliffs, Fin Wall, Broken Tooth, Cat Wall, Slug Wall, Reservoir Wall, Critic’s Choice.

Description

The Disappointment Cliffs is the largest cliff band at Indian Creek. Unfortunately, due to a lot of broken rock this area has fewer routes then other areas such as the Cat Wall. However this cliff holds some amazing lines such as Winner Takes All, The Angry Inch and Hong Kong Phooey.

This is the Big Cliff between Broken Tooth and the Second Meet Wall

Getting There

Takes the Meat Walls dirt road for climbs on the left and the Six Star dirt road for climbs on the right. For climbs in the middle of the cliff such as Winner Takes All park your car in any of the dirt or paved pullouts along the 211.
