Description

The 5.8 Sanctuary is an oft-overlooked small wall with just a few routes. The rock quality is excellent.

Its proximity to Seismic Wall makes it a good spot to check out if you find Seismic to be too busy.

Reports suspect hardware on BadBolts.com

Getting There

Approach from Seismic Wall. Located in west central Austin off of Capital of Texas Highway (Loop 360) at 3755 S Capital of Texas . Turn into the business park and make your way towards the wooded area on the north side of the business park. Park in the dirt parking lot, locate the trail head next to a Clivus toilet . Hike downhill about 3 minutes to the creek.

The trail will bring you down to the creek bed and Seismic should be visible across the bed. Cross over and turn right at Seismic Wall. Hike about 1/4 of a mile. 5.8 Sanctuary will be on your left and be forewarned that it is small and easy to miss. You will be looking for the big cave feature.

If you get about a half mile and haven't found it yet, turn back around. It's easier to find from that direction.
