Description Suggest change

Walt's Wall is a fantastic wall uphill and right of the Hydrotube Area. Most of the routes start with low angle friction slab. The upper headwall is quite a bit steeper and offers a distinct change of character. Development of this area started in 1989, but some of the routes were added as recently as 2002. The Lower Walt's Wall includes the routes from Paradicey (which climbs the 'nose' that sticks out the furthest) to Dual Purpose (climbs the white undercling flakes just to the left of the obvious moss streak). This wall gets early morning shade, but sees an abundance of sun for most of the day. The bolt spacing tends to be fairly moderate for Flagstone. Not as beginner-friendly as the North Slab, but not as runout as routes like Apache Acid or Sibling Rivalry.

Getting There Suggest change

This wall is on the south aspect of Flagstone. To get there, follow the approach trail up from the road and turn right. Continue following the path around the right (south) side of the formation past the Path Wall and the Hydrotube Area. After reaching the Hydrotube, Walt's Wall starts uphill and right another 50 feet or so. Approach time: ~5 minutes.
