Description

Shaded area by the river approximately 200 feet right of the Abominable Boulder. The area is somewhat overgrown so only faint trails exist leading up to the wall, but you'll see the bolts shining in the sunlight.

The boulder route Fresh Squeezed (V7) is located further back off the main trail near a small creek bed that has formed from water run off from the main wall. This wall will sometimes have a waterfall after a lot of rain, and the boulder route is near that spot. If you are looking for a fun, challenging boulder problem, definitely check it out.

The sport routes in this area have older bolts, so please use caution before climbing here. These routes also tend to be dirty due to lack of climbers.

Getting There

After passing the kiosk and taking the main stairs down into the gorge, take a right onto the main trail heading towards the overpass. This wall is right on the main path and before you reach the Abominable Boulder. Approximately a 4 minute hike from the bottom of the steps at the main entrance.
