Description Suggest change

Long Wall is 40' wide by 14' to 22' high. There are a couple other boulders nearby. See robinclose.blogspot.com/201… but note the picture of the turnoff is out of date. Many contrived problems on dirty rock.

Getting There Suggest change

One mile southeast of the main NWB area, on the left bank (facing downstream). The wall is the right bank of a gully, about 100 yards uphill from Northwest Branch, near Devere Road. The turnoff is at coordinates (39.022,-76.996) near Devere Road. You may see a triangular boulder up the hill from the NWB trail, but the wall itself is not visible from there.
