Description Suggest change

This wall is our tribute to Dolly Parton. She is an iconic performer and a prolific songwriter, with over 3000 songs to her credit. She also has an incredible record of philanthropy.  For example, at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic she gave a million dollars to Vanderbilt University to fund research on the virus. She has also started and funded numerous scholarship programs in education and literacy for the children in her home county in Tennessee.

This wall lies between dog walk and the "City Limits" wall both far to the climber’s left of the great staircase. It is a shaded area.  The base of the climbs are often wet but once you're past the first bolt the rock is clean and dry!

On all the Dolly Wall routes we recommend stick clipping the first (or second) bolt.

Getting There Suggest change

This is our next crag past the "John Prine Wall".  if you're coming from the Grand Staircase, it's just past the Dog Walk Gully.

An alternate approach is to turn right at the green dumpster, walk down the path along the ridge line to the dog walk (a 5 minute walk at most and .1 mile), scramble down the dog walk and then head South to Dolly Parton. This approach is considerably quicker.
