Description Suggest change

The massive, orange to blue wall on your right as you enter the canyon / bowl. Shaded (a bit of sun in the spring / summer mornings) and vert to slightly overhanging. There are shorter moderates near the entry and a host of full length 5.12's through the middle and then a pocket of 13's towards the left where the stone is a bit more compact. 

The longer routes grant you the special experience of leaving the ground with ~25 draws on your harness - having a few slings or tactically back cleaning can help your rope to run almost completely plumb and minimizes rope drag. Most of the longer routes are climbed as a single pitch and have a midway anchor placed so that your belayer can lower you from the top to the midway with a 70m rope. An 80m rope is nice for the 'shorter' long routes on the left side. 

Getting There Suggest change

Head up the trail from the parking lot and take the right branch towards The Grail. This is the first wall in the bowl / canyon.
