Description

This small pocket never sees sun, which makes it unique in Capulin and thus worth a visit despite the small number of climbs and the somewhat lower quality of rock than the Main or Upper walls. One strategy might be to climb here in the morning and then move around to the Main Wall when it goes into the shade.

Getting There

The Closet is in the drainage that forms the eastern end of the Main Wall. Approach via the Main Wall. At the very eastern end of the Main Wall, keep walking around the end of the wall and up into the drainage. Stay high for the easiest walking. Expect to take about ten minutes beyond the last climb on the Main Wall. The climbs should be obvious, but there is a pour-over in the drainage that makes it impossible to go too far.
