Description Suggest change

The East Wall has the highest number of difficult routes along the wall with the average difficulty being around 5.12.  It also has the highest concentration of good to classic routes as well.  Fortunately, setting up a top rope on most of the routes is easy, and if leading, most of the routes have good gear or reasonably spaced bolts. One of the only shade trees can be found here along its base which is nice as the base of the cliff can often feel scorching hot, even in mid winter while the top of the cliff is downright arctic. Please don't pee on the tree or around it. We'd like to enjoy the shade it provides for many years to come. 

Getting There Suggest change
