Description Suggest change

The Dirty Wall is most often passed up on a climbers hike into the Swamp Cave, but one of these days you should drop your rope here and enjoy one of the best 5.12 walls in the South West. With outstanding rock quality, clean route (despite the name) and a nice variety of 5.12 you will definitely not be disappointed.

Getting There Suggest change

Enter the canyon and walk as you would for the Swamp Cave, after a right twist in the canyon walls (about 5 or so minutes into the canyon) look to your left for the main Dirty Wall sector. Chalk, bolts and climbs should be easily recognizable.
