Description

Remote, 600+ft tall, gneissic, "desert alpine" formation with detatched pillars, in a rugged, dramatic setting. The place is intimidating, few have climbed here, but there are clean lines amidst all that choss. Definitely 6 quality multi-pitched routes (known) and more have been spotted.

It would be presumptuous to claim any first ascents because this place has been known and climbed occasionally for decades, though first ascents are entirely possible. A few routes are named and described here just to give some idea. If anyone is sure of a first ascent, and some earlier given names for routes, please speak. Bolts on some of the faces could produce some incredible routes but would require an immense effort.

The ratings here could very likely feel sandbagged. As these routes were posted by Granite Mountain climbers, the ratings could be in keeping with the system at The Mountain, and reflect the likely ratings that would have been given by the pioneers of the Hualapai Wall...the Syndicatico Granitica

The camping at Campsite #1 and Shanty Town is out of this world!

Getting There

See the cheaper way to fly guidebook.

Approach is 1.5 to 2hours, the bushwhacking can be heinous, though a couple visits revealed a best way. A slope must be ascended to reach the elevation of the base of the wall. There are various ways to do this from either up by the mine or up ridges further down the road. It is temping, upon approaching the elevation of the foot of the wall to make a B-line directly to it but it is wiser to stay wide to the west on a subtle crest to avoid the thickest shrubbery that seems to crowd in closer to the foot of the wall. Then head south and circle back around east near the foot of a N. Facing slope and back to the wall where the brush is less tall and dense. Bring a Machete.
