Description

About an hour hike from the parking lot, this area offers quite a few gems that rarely see any attention. This area is split into two main parts with a few large boulders littering the hillside. The first area encountered is the Jenga Area, this area is more concentrated and has a lot of fun looking lines. The second main area is just before the large waterfall where the main hiking trail ends. This area may as well be referred to as the Standard Lines Area due to how tall and proud that line actually is.
The majority of the problems that are documented are found right on the side of the trail, this area also offers some potential for re-establishment and first ascents. There are quite a few tall and proud faces that look nearly possible.

Getting There

From the parking lot at the end of Wilderness Pocket Road, follow the main trail that is marked with white markers. After hiking about 35-40 minutes the trail veers right, up the hill away from the river, before curving back and following the river from on top of a hillside. Once on this stretch of trail, 5-10 minutes will pass before a large newly built aluminium bridge will allow the hiker to cross a smaller river.

After crossing this, the trail veers right through a rocky jumble and then the trail splits with a sign in the middle. To get to Laurel Falls, take the right trail. After several minutes of further hiking, the first documented problems will appear adjacent to the trail.
