Description

This is one off the smallest blocks of rock at Donation but please give it a try. I like it for easy warm ups and to take beginners who may not be comfortable yet on high stuff. This face is super featured so there's not a lack of hold except for the right side route "" which is pretty thin at the beginning. I only have one set of TR anchors at the top but with a 12' cordelette you can build an anchor in any direction to protect any routes on the face. Fun wall for sure!

Getting There

Take the trail up and to the left of Damnation Wall. Walk back the obvious path and you'll come right to it. The Face TR anchors are accessible by going up the trail to the right. Keep going at the top till you see a trail on the left. Take that back to the top of that crag and look over the edge to a small ledge below. They are behind a mini pine tree. Please don't harm that tree.

Bat Conservation | How You Can Help

See a Bat on a Route, Give Us a Shout!

Hey climbers, Ken Hull here with South Central PA Climbers, and your Ambassador here at Donation Rocks. I’m working with Rob Schorr at Colorado State University to help him spread the word about his bat research. Here’s a message from him about this important work and how, we as climbers, can help.

"Climbers for Bat Conservation is working with climbers to understand bat ecology and why bats choose certain cracks and flakes. We’re a collaboration between climbers, bat biologists, and land managers to understand where bats roost and where large populations may reside. We are interested in finding bats because of a new disease called white-nose syndrome (whitenosesyndrome.org) which has killed millions of bats in North America. This collaboration has identified bat roosts throughout the U.S., and as far away as Norway and Bulgaria. CBC was developed by biologists who climb and they are advocates for climbing access and bat conservation.

So, if you see bats while climbing, please let us know by emailing us at climbersforbats@colostate.edu, or visiting our website to learn more. climbersforbats.colostate.edu."

Thank You!
