Description

This wall lies just left of Lookout Point (separated by a steep, brushy gully) and below the Diamond. At its base lies the Wall of Ten-thousand Insects, and to its left and slightly below lies Rattletale. The upper left side of this wall has a large, left-facing roof. The wall is steeper, on average, than Lookout Point, but generally less than vertical.

Getting There

Take the trail to Lookout Point, staying left at the huge Midnite boulder, then right at the next T intersection, heading towards the Private Idaho turnoff. Instead of going right to Private Idaho, continue up left of Brad Driscol towards the Party Zone, the steep, blocky white wall that has a waterfall at its left side in winter and spring. Duck Wall begins just left of the waterfall.

From below the waterfall, look for the trail that goes left into the woods. Duck Wall has several lower tiers separated by treed ledges, and the lowest tier is also known as the Wall of Ten-thousand Insects. WOTI has several fun, short crack climbs. For routes on the upper tiers, continue left along the base of this short wall and head up towards the Diamond gully. Several routes start close to this gully.

Alternatively, from the T intersection past Midnite boulder, branch off left from the Lookout-Point trail to head towards Rattletale. Upon reaching the boulder field, head up towards the Diamond gully. To reach other routes, take the trail right along a forested ledge below the cliff.
