Description Suggest change

A small overhanging cliff that faces Southeast. Until recently, this wall only contained 3 routes in the overhang. However, this area now boasts around 10 routes which make good use of the wall's flanks and even the slab on the other side of the gully. It's also worth noting the landing area has been improved and most of the ancient bolts on the original routes have been updated with new bolts. Thanks to whoever is responsible for this work.

Although not the best rock, this area offers short, steep, safely bolted routes which range from 5.10 to 5.12d . This is a good option for cold sunny days since the sun hits the wall until mid-afternoon.

Getting There Suggest change

From the road, walk downhill from the Hell approach about 300 yards. Find a trail that heads uphill on the North side of the road. Pass some large boulders, then make your way up a gravelly, loose trail until you reach a trail that heads across the hill. Head West for 100 feet, then look for a trail that zags back East. Follow this back into a small gully. The Hard Wall will be the obvious cave on the left.
