Description Suggest change

There is a large obvious buttress near the center of P-Town. This wall is to the left. Superb face climbing is this areas calling card. Most routes also boast water groove features as co-stars.

Getting There Suggest change

From CCC trail follow base of rock left (west) until you come to obvious buttress. Circumnavigate it either below (rugged) or mid-level (scary) or there is a fixed rope where buttress hits wall.  If coming up other trail go past Lower Left then up to far left end of this wall. Toss up which is quicker. CCC Trail is easier hiking but you must traverse wall. The other trail is longer and more rugged but slightly more direct.
