Description

This wall is the second crag on the inner loop trail, it also is one of the better spots for a group of climbers that have different levels of climbing. Like litter Box Patterson has an upper an a lower. The upper got the majority of the routes and they range from 5.8 to 5.11d.

Shade most the day and but has a little water runoff. so it takes a day to dry out after a big ran.

Getting There

You stay right on the inner loop trail take the turn at the same place you would turn for litter box go all the way to the far end of the wall take the same shoot up as the upper litter box trail. But when you get to the top turn right follow makers and keep the rock on your left hand side. 15 minute walk.
