Description Suggest change

This is the main cliff and the first one you arrive to during the descent. Stacked. Many routes have fixed draws; many don't. Some require gear. Long ropes are helpful. Southeast facing; typically goes in the shade around 1 PM midsummer.

Getting There Suggest change

Park at a pullout 8.2 miles up 120 from 395. Just east of the green bridge. An old info display entitled "Don't Fence Me In" confirms you're at the right spot. Hop the guard rail and descend via a steep climbers' trail that leads skiers' right (up canyon). 10 minutes to the first climbable route on the first wall (the Tioga Wall), 20-25 minutes to the furthest routes/walls.
