Description
Burro Wall is a south-facing and sunny limestone cliff sitting several hundred feet above Main Elk Creek. As you drive into the Main Elk area, you see a large cliff arcing across the hillside just above the Clinetop Road. The Burro Wall is the lower end of this band.
Full disclosure: starts here can feel chossy, but bolting is friendly, and the upper 3/4 of the routes are on excellent limestone. The routes are 20 to 30+ meters in length, Dance of the Sugarplum is the longest, watch your rope end when lowering with a 60. Grades range from 5.10 to 5.12.
The cliff is named for the burro living on the ranch below the cliff. It's braying serenade was heard daily as we developed the cliff.
Getting There
Park as for Main Elk Cliff, and walk up the main gravel road for approximately 1/2 mile. Look for a small cairn on the left that shows the access to a primitive trail through the oaks. If you pass a good-sized boulder on your left or hit a parking area on your right, turn around. The approach from off the road is about 20 minutes. If you lose the trail, just head towards the cliff as best you can. The routes start about 200 yards up from the very toe of the cliffband.
