Description

The Fire Wall is the most impressive and intimidating wall at Moore's. It is tall, steep, and seemingly featureless in some parts, and the orange "Billboard" looms over you, daring you to climb it.

The wall gets afternoon sun and is best climbed in cool weather or in the morning before it starts to glow.

The climbing here is hard, but it's all there. Many of the routes have fixed gear, but that does not mean that they are not bold. You need to bring your A-Game to climb here.

Getting There

Once you've taken the left onto the powerline road, walk for a few minutes until you see a park sign on the right pointing to the Sentinel Buttress trail. Turn right and head up the trail, following signs for the Sentinel Buttress. Once you get close to the wall, the trail splits and either heads left toward the Central Wall or right toward the Sentinel Buttress. Go right, and walk past the Sentinel Buttress and around the corner to the left. You can't miss the Fire Wall.
