Description

Semi low-slung wall up and left of the Main Wall with some good easy-moderate routes on it and one significant challenge (Little Dickens). A couple of the routes here that were originally done with no fixed protection have had multiple bolts added after the fact.

Getting There

If you hike in up Mesquite Canyon past the Sven Towers, then around and up to the Main Wall, the trail goes past a cave, then left across the Main Wall. Continue left and then up, taking right branches until you arrive at the far right side of the Upper Wall.
