Misspent Youth Wall

Colorado > Grand Junction… > Grand Mesa > Land's End Area

Description

Misspent Youth Wall is a short, south-facing buttress with high quality, clean basalt. There is a variety of trad, mixed, and sport climbs that vary in difficulty from 5.8-5.12.

Getting There

From the "Y" at the top of Land's End Road, continue 1.8 miles south and park on the side of the road. You can approach the crag on foot from above by walking down an obvious gully just west of the cliff or you can rappel into the crag from the anchors on Zod the Immortal.
