Description

This was the first wall to be developed at Heaven's Gate due the wickedly amazing, overhanging boulder. It might look easy from the ground, but you will be challenged with power and precision to scale its sloper filled walls.

A classic and must do for this area is Inception (since deleted from the database), which just might be one of the best 5.13s in the region!

Getting There

Walk from the parking lot area down the hillside (north north-west) through two large boulders, then hug the ridge line on a faint trail on the East side of the valley for 300 feet until the wall is visible on the right.
