Description Suggest change

This crag makes it offical, that the Redrocks conservation area contains a little bit of everything. This beautiful wall is about 200+ feet long; only about 15 to 30 feet high, most of the wall is overhanging with some amazing lines. There are a handful of very low grade tradable lines, but most of the lines are in the 5.10 and up region.

This crag faces south to Route 128 and will be dry by mid-day if the sun is out after a rain. This is also the only south-facing crag in the Redrocks area.

Getting There

Suggest change

You can either:

2) take the red blazed trail that starts to the left of Pink Floyd wall and meanders directly to Sunshine Wall. 12 mins from Pink Floyd.
