Please be respectful and keep this access open to climbers. Use posted photos for this area to familiarize yourself with where parking is and is not allowed. Access to all gates must remain available to a truck and trailer. Parking in any way that restricts access to the gates north of the highway will jeopardize access for climbing.
Description
This area is like a good wine it just gets better and better with time. It is located on the west end of the main wall. Don't let your sight deceived you. It does not look like much from afar but it is an unexpected tall and featured wall with great routes. The area is located behind private property. The owner has allowed us to walk by his land through the wash. Let's keep it this way and respect his property by not littering or disrupting their animals.
The left side of the wall is mostly shaded. The rest of the wall will be on the shade all day starting late morning (10-11 am). The rock has a little bit of all with good quality: Sandstone, cobblestone and limestone. The bottom of some routes are grainy and flaky, but it will definitely clean up with time. The routes on this wall ranges from 5.7-5.12. There is some roof, slab and even a cool tall chimney to climb.
This is a new area so please WEAR your HELMET.
Getting There
The approach is about 30 minutes from the parking area. Park at mile marker 47, which is just East of a bridge. From the parking area, immediately cross to the south side of 82 and the path will lead you to the A-frame stairs over the barbed wire fence. A good trail leads you across a rocky east-west wash and continues south and uphill. You'll come to a split in the trail where there used to be a sign, stay right, on the western trail. You'll pass a set of two big boulders. Uphill about 50 yards from the 2 boulders, the trail heads west in a diagonal line towards the end of the wall. When you reach the saddle at the end of the wall, turn left and follow a trail that travels below the climbs in the Vineyard.
