Description Suggest change

The Predator Wall is one of the outstanding crags for the climber wanting something a little more challenging with it's collection of excellent 5.12 routes.

The Predator Wall - South Face is a popular destination when the weather is cold, while the lesser known Predator Wall - North Face with it's handful of less steep, but technical outings is a good choice when it's warm.

Getting There Suggest change

Drive in to a point even with the Roadside Crag and then head right (west) to join a road that heads south into another canyon that runs parallel to the main one with Raven Rocks etc.

  • The old road that leads to the south face of the Predator Wall has been closed off, and now you must park at the mouth of the canyon next to some large rocks that block off the old road.

The approach takes about 5-10 minutes from the parking area.
