Description

Fun sport climbs on medium quality limestone. Lots of fun "chert" rails.

A challenging hike ensures a quiet day of solitude.

Thank you to those who contributed to developing this cliff.

Getting There

See detailed approach map: drive.google.com/open?id=1_…;usp=sharing

After reaching Walden, continue uphill hugging the cliffline. You'll gain a bit of extra elevation, then drop back down to Weakness wall, but this is much better than cutting across the slope straight to the wall. The trail is fairly well defined. the approach trail on Mountain project is not very precise. The linked google map above is a bit more helpful.
