Description Suggest change

A large shadowy north east facing wall looms over two successive bridges in the Little Last Chance Canyon. There's a deep cave feature that separates the three routes found here. Definitely a place to escape the summer heat. Be warned, rock quality is mixed here, the bolted routes have been meticulously placed on the few bits of good rock that can be found. So explore vertically with extreme caution.
There is a book written about this area from 2013, there was one sport route near the cave feature of this wall, and the author put up a 3 pitch mixed route(Fool Moon Fever PG-13 5.8+) on the large overhanging wall. As of 2020, there are 2 fresh new sport routes on the main wall left of the cave feature, and the multipitch route appears to have been rebolted going left and up instead of going up and right. No idea if the multipitch route is still intact. The old sport route listed in the book that starts near the mouth of the cave appears to be just gone.

Getting There Suggest change

As the Little Last Chance Canyon opens up you'll cross two bridges and then see the Phantom Wall looming overhead to the left. Park in the dirt pullout on the right side of the road, then cross the road and approach the main wall, should be 100 feet or less of hiking/bush whacking.
