Description
This granite wall is about twenty feet high at its highest point and offers several close-to-the-groud easy warmup traverses. The traverses can be modified to be more difficult.
There are several easy/forgiving slopers and some more challenging crimps along these traverses. The top-out routes are more limited in number and are generally easy, although there are a few small finger pockets that can be used to add difficulty.
The ground is soft & flat, perfect for several mats, and a big fallen tree offers a nice spot to sit and rest. Mountain bikers frequently ride by at a safe distance (since the wall is not directly on a trail).Great spot!

Getting There
Plug Rock Ridge Road (Manchester) into your GPS. When you arrive at Rock Ridge Road take a right and park at the end of the cul-de-sac (this area has been under construction for a long time and doesn't seem to be patrolled for parking). There are rarely any cars parked there.
There's a well-traveled trail on the right (if you're facing the end of the cul-de-sac). The total walking time to reach the wall is less than five minutes. Walk this path on a gentle uphill, taking the first major 90 degree right-hand-turn you reach. Walk this path, it will start to gradually decline and you'll see some rocks at about ten o'clock. The Warmup Wall will come into view straight ahead. Follow the path to arrive as close as you can to the wall, then walk between some trees/off path for about fifty feet to reach the actual wall.
