Description Suggest change

Easy to moderate climbing can be found here.

This is the isolated wall just left and below of the RAMM Alcove.

Climbs on the right begin from the trail. Climbs on the left are perched above the trail on a ledge.

It is shady until mid-morning then sunny the rest of the day.

Getting There & Routes Suggest change

#1. Drive to the Quarry Wall and park at or near the caves.

There is room for about 10 cars if parked responsibly.

Hike up the road about 150 yards to where the road flattens out, and locate the 1 car pullout on the right with a large, triangle-shaped boulder behind it. Locate the cairn 20 feet past the pullout on the right.

Drop into the creekbed, and hike left past 3 cairns and then right up following the easy trail to the base of the wall which puts you right under the climb "2 Part Inventions, 5.8".

#2. Walk to the Quarry Wall, and follow the above directions.

#3. This area can also be approached from the the loose gully beneath the climb The Sun Always Shines on TV at the RAMM alcove. This approach is not recommended though.
