Access Issue:

Portions of the approach and cliffs of this area are on private land.

Details

In 2015, Access Fund acquired key privately owned access parcels when foreclosed on by the bank to keep it in climbing-friendly hands. Please park and camp on Access Fund property and take the new trail down. Please donate today at accessfund.org/homestead to secure permanent access and conservation of the Homestead.

Description

North facing = always in the shade. Like the rest of the Rough Rider wall, this wall hosts some of the best and full pitch routes in the canyon. A 70 meter rope may be needed for a route or two and up to twenty quick draws.

Getting There

From the Rough Rider wall hike left along the base of the wall. Once the wall turns North facing you are there.
