Description Suggest change

Rightfully named Helium Wall for its steep blank walls, you’ll need to be ultralight to make an ascent of this wall. This is the rock formation just below the Precious Metals ledge that separates the tiers. This wall will provide the hardest climbing on the periodic table..if you can find any holds! Expect slightly overhanging to vertical climbing on any holds you can hope to find. There could likely be many 5.13-14's in this area as it just doesn't have many features. The Wall is in the shade till early afternoon ~1:45pm, facing west, the routes right of Chemical X stay shady with some tree cover later into the afternoon. All bolts are stainless 3/8ths. The right most routes are equipped with belay bolts!

Getting There Suggest change

See “Periodic Table” once around the front side of the fin, pass the wavelength wall, and look for the small chimney flake next to the tall blank streaked wall. Walk up to this flake/chimney to base of the routes.
