4. North Wall

Nevada > Western Nevada > Reno Area > Owl Rock

Description

Great shade in the summer. Features technical routes.

Getting There

Head up the main approach trail and take the right fork when you are just below Owl Rock. If the trail is trending downhill, you missed the fork. The North Wall is the first cliff encountered.

It is possible to rap in to all of the anchors from the long-chain rap station at the top of Owl Rock.
