Description

Joe Kreidel's original text:

Spectrum Wall is a small formation of high quality rock overlooking Upper Sabino Canyon, directly across the canyon from The Steep. While there are not a ton of climbs, they span across the range of difficulty from 10a to 13d, with something for everyone in between.

Climbs are all west facing. AM shade, PM sun.

JB adds... there is a newer route on the far right (south) end that is not posted on this page. Joe S and I TRed it before it was drilled but decided to pass since it seemed a one-move wonder. I think I know who drilled it. Dont know why they didnt post.
