Description Suggest change

Chuck talking about some of the routes on Legacy and Cryptic walls youtu.be/ALd83itZ__Q 

Legacy Wall: This long scoop shaped wall section offers a great mix of steep, shaded climbing during the summer, with plenty of winter morning sunlight. On the right, Party Boat, is the first climb, on the far right side of the wall section, which stays bathed by winter sunlight a bit later then other climbs south of the Grand Staircase. This is known as the 3 Hour Tour Buttress. Further left along the wall, Legacy Falls was the first bolted line along this wall section, heading up to a small cave, then following a line right of the lighter white overhanging rock. This route becomes a water fall during a brief heavy rain. A bit further left, The Beer Ledge boulders are a tall stack at the base of the wall that redirects the walking trail down and around. The large stack also is used to gain the first bolts on Beer Ledge (5.9) and Tennessee Whisky (5.11).


Routes 
range from 35 ft to 100 ft tall and currently provide a wide range of difficulty levels (range from 5.6 to 5.11). Work in progress.


Ratings: 
While easier climbs are given a rating number representing the climb to be no harder than the rating represented, routes rated 5.10 and up are given a specific max crux rating. This should help you plan your visit and navigate your way along the bluff while using Mountain Project.
Please provide feedback 
using your MP App. Star rating and rate difficulty feedback helps the next visitors use the app.

Caution: Legacy Wall and all walls south of Bee Hive are currently being developed. Please respect caution signs, cones, and verbal requests presented by staff. Yellow lines rope off restricted or closed trail sections. This is for your safety and the safety of our hard workers.

Volunteers needed for continued trail development, maintenance and safety coordination. If you can help assist us, by communicating the current restrictions, for everyone's safety, the voiced reminders and kind assistance to fellow climbers, will surely be appreciated. Thank you for everyone's help!
