The Waning Wall

Arizona > Central Arizona > *Prescott Area > Granite Dells > Granite Gardens
Warning Access Issue: This is on private land. The land owner has been fine with climbing. Mind your litter please. DetailsDrop down

Description

This is a larger cliff about 100' tall with all traditional climbing mostly in the 5.7-5.9 region. Their are no bolts on top and creative anchor building is necessary. Also, a walking off is required, which includes some scrambling. Due to the private land issue their are only a couple of fixed anchors on the wall, 2 pitons from many years ago and one bolt. The majority of the routes require tricky placements and some run-outs.

Getting There

Park at Granite Gardens near the creek crossing. Head south into a ravine just left or west of the fenced utility area. Walk through the rocky ravine until the obvious climbing lines appear to the right.
