Description

While Altitude houses a smaller quantity of climbs, they are high quality and of all sizes. A worthy destination to escape crowds at some of the more popular walls nearby. The wall itself faces roughly southeast and some climbs hold sun into midafternoon depending on their aspect.

Getting There

Take the Beef Basin road and park approximately 2 miles from the highway at a large dispersed camping area on the right (west) side of the road. The wall is marked by a large detached pillar that fell and slid down the scree partway. The trail does NOT head straight up toward the pillar. Rather, it heads initially southwest out of the parking and wanders on the flat for a ways before turning uphill. The trail is well marked with cairns, but not well traveled.
