Access Issue: 1. RAIN & WET ROCK 2. DANGER OF EROSION Details

1. Texas Canyon is conglomerate that is fragile and is very easily damaged when it is wet. Holds rip off and climbs have been and will continue to be permanently damaged due to climbers not respecting this phenomenon. After a heavy storm the rock will remain wet, sometimes for several days. PLEASE DO NOT CLIMB during or after rain. A good rule of thumb is that if the ground near your climb is at all damp, then do not climb.

2. The south end of the First Corridor is in danger of collapsing at the base of Sophie’s Choice. A dam of rocks and soil has been built to divert water away from the eroding soil underneath these huge boulders. Please help keep this system in place until a more permanent solution is implemented.

Description

This is the north facing wall that forms the western portion of the Tower of Babel (aka Ten Gallon Hat) bisected by the wide chimney. The V Wall is the steep northern end of what Savage refers to as Corvus Crack or the Second Corridor. The walls on either side of the wide chimney overhang and are festooned with with knobs and inclusions of all sizes. The rock is friable and features fewer pockets than other parts of Texas Canyon.

Getting There

Walk west from the lower north end of the First Corridor and scramble up the slab. Continue down the slope, paralleling the wall on the left until a wide chimney appears on the left. About two minutes from the north end of the First Corridor.
