Access Issue: Private land crossing and parking information - PLEASE READ BELOW ! Details

You walk across private land to enter this area. The landowner has been tolerant so long as we don't disturb his land or his cattle. To keep a good relationship with him it is extremely important that climbers don't mess with grazing cattle, and that ALL GATES STAY AS THEY ARE FOUND. Also, the large gate on the north side of the parking area MUST NOT BE BLOCKED IN ANY WAY; the rancher regularly uses this gate as he drives a truck pulling a large trailer, so the road leading to said gate MUST STAY CLEAR by least 40 feet on all sides, including the road perpendicular to it (running east-west). If the parking area is full, drive past the bridge and park on the next pullout (not far), and NEVER BY THE GATE.

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

These walls are just around the corner from The Bowling Alley Main Wall if you follow the cliff line west. Contouring up the hill there are several black slabs with a handful of very fun featured routes.

This area is one of the main drainage points from the upper limestone band. Although not all of the sections of wall will yield climbing you can find some of the coolest limestone features seen at The Farmhouse in this area including tufas, giant threads, pods, pockets, and even some small cave features.

As with some of the other sectors cholla are PROLIFIC, so be on the lookout for yourself and especially any four-legged friends that might be joining you.
