Cryptic Wall: This vertical white face has some variety in difficulty. The Cryptic Wall bolted lines are just south (Left) of the Bee Hive (Lilly Wall) and require a couple steps up, along the lower trail, to access the base of the routes. The right side of the wall starts with an obvious left-facing dihedral which is bound to be a classic. The reddish hue of the rock face fades to white as you look left.
Routes range from 60 ft to 110 ft tall and currently provide a slight range of difficulty levels (range from 5.7 to 5.11).
Ratings: Currently 5.7 - 5.11 are offered with the range of line difficulties along this wall section. While easier climbs are given a rating number representing the climb to be no harder than the rating represented, routes rated 5.10 and up are given a specific max crux rating. This should help you plan your visit and navigate your way along the bluff while using Mountain Project.
Please provide feedback using your MP App. Star rating and rate difficulty feedback helps the next visitors use the app.
Getting There
Head 100 feet south, past Bee Hive, by stepping up along the lower trail to access the base of the routes.
Under Development
Caution: Legacy Wall and all walls south of Bee Hive are currently being developed. Please respect caution signs, cones, and verbal requests presented by staff. Yellow lines rope off restricted or closed trail sections. This is for your safety and the safety of our hard workers.
Volunteers needed for continued trail development, maintenance and safety coordination. If you can help assist us, by communicating the current restrictions, for everyone's safety, the voiced reminders and kind assistance to fellow climbers, will surely be appreciated. Thank you for everyone's help!
