For a much easier approach than sliding down the gully to routes, turn left and go downhill, trending right along the cliffline at this point in the trail to access Lower Wall and points west. I marked the turn with climbing tape, but who knows how long it'll stay up. There's a tiny bit of bushwhacking, but it's the easiest access I've found.<br>

It's in a big meadow, not quite 2 miles down the trail.

Jared Pointing the Way to the faint trail leading to the West Walls. The approach trail runs in front of the boulder pictured while the Cooks Wall trail continues off to the right. If you reach the grassy meadow you might have missed it!
