Description Suggest change

03/03/21 THE ISLAND IS CLOSED TO CLIMBING

Historically this area has been known as "The Island", it is a separate cliff slightly deeper in the canyon/west the of Cabin Wall. The routes here are indeed separate from the routes at Cabin Wall divided by a large gully and a cliff wall with several arches in the making. Previously the entry for Cabin Wall encompassed all of these routes as the left most routes. This creates some confusion as to the location of the routes.

The Island includes routes:

Rusty's Cave through Rustlers Revenge.

Getting There Suggest change

Head southwest on 650 Rd for 10.5 miles from US 50. Park at the HA Smith Cabin on the right hand side. From the parking lot, head west on the road to a sandy drainage. Follow this drainage until you see a climber's trail heading up to the base of the cliff.
