Description

This small area is an extension of the Indian Creek crag. It offers a handful of lower-quality trad lines and opportunity for first ascents for the adventurous. The rock quality at Board Wall leaves much to be desired. The approach is short for a semi-remote crag in the Lower Gorge... but the climbs are hard to find and not that great.

Getting There

Park in the parking area at the end of 9B, cross the creek, and hike 1/2 mile on the old, closed road. Locate a gate on the right, past the trail with the pylons that leads up to the main Indian Creek crad. Walk down the gated road for about 1/4 mile until it. reaches the east fork of Indian Creek. Cross the creek and find an old logging road on the right near a large boulder. Follow the logging road until it intersects with a ridge on the left. Bushwhack from the road along the ridge to a corner of the cliff.
