Description
This is the huge wall directly (15 feet) south of the campsite mentioned in the campsite canyon section. This wall is enormous, and there are a couple of developed areas, but the other areas require a little bit of a hike up the canyon whereas this portion of the wall is right next to the parking area.
The rock is very reminiscent of the rock at Black and Tan or Kelly's wall in the Utah Hills, but much bigger. The lower angles sections are sharp runnel covered grey limestone whereas the overhanging sections are black and orange streaked smooth creamy limestone.
Even though the climbing is right next to the parking area, you could probably go weeks without seeing another person.
