Main Wall East Rock Climbing

A large section of steep-to-overhanging rock below, and right of the headwall. This section of cliff is more fractured than the west side, and has darker rock and more seasonal runoff and wet streaks. A prominent steep drainage splits the east wall with the pigeon stool wall. this is the Gruesome gully. Routes on the east side are typically mostly bolted, but are not sport routes and usually require a small rack of cams to protect them well. The base of most of the east side routes are on a hillside, and the area is very sensitive to erosion. Stairs and barriers have been built in the past to help protect the soil, but watch your step as this area tends to be muddy early season or after a rain, and a fall from several points on the trail could be disastrous.
