Description

This is technically one wall but with two distinct sections - lower and upper. The lower half is vertical and where the action is. The upper half is like a set of steps and is easily scaled. Many advanced climbers consider the climb finished at the top of the lower half, but beginners will want to take it to the top to build confidence and endurance.

There’s a set of TR anchors to the right (as you’re looking from on top), and a set of anchors with chains on a wall section to the left of that and down.

Getting There

Best to park at the upper lot. From there you walk up the trail next to the sign and proceed maybe 100 feet up and to the left. It’s a little steep and slippery when wet or covered in fallen leaves and pine needles. Really slick when you have both.
