Description

This is the big wall on the north side of the river. The one with the big white spot on it. Can't miss it. It's tall, maybe 2000 ft. of continuous rock at the tallest. The rock is mostly good as well. I can't remember where the name came from, I think some old-timers named it.

The white spot was not there in a photo I found on the internet dating to 2005.

Getting There

If you've driven into Kings Canyon and looked at this, you know - the approach is slightly involved. Park in a pullout between Convict Flat campground and Boyden Cave. Go down and cross the river at ~ 36.82463, -118.82845. Only doable in the fall. Head up the gully to the base. Good luck. If Daniel could do it with two broken feet, you should be fine. But he's an animal. So, again, good luck.

With good wits and fitness, it should only take about an hour.
