Access Issue: Black Wall seasonal raptor closures Details

Mind nesting raptors that raise young on the Black Wall some years. If you sight a peregrine, contact Dan Joannes, staff biology guy for the Truckee Donner Land Trust at Daniel@tdlandtrust.org

Description

This small wall is directly above Black September, and could probably be considered separate from Black Wall, although it doesn't have a name. Home to a handful of good, moderate trad routes.

Getting There

Approach as per the right side of Black Wall, but instead of going left towards Rated X, head right towards a slanting rock slab. Follow the slab for about 100', cross a creek (dry after late summer), and head back up left on a trail.
