From the parking lot: Look out at the ocean then head up the trail to your right. Follow the trail and stay to the left of the water tank and keep going. The trail opens up and you'll see the no bikes sign (Blue Circle) and go right here. Follow it down past a mellow slab and then you'll see the wall on your left.

Changes taking place on the approach to the Corpse Wall.

You bring your dog to Stunt Ranch State Park and throw a bag full of its feces into the bushes. HOW OBTUSE CAN YOU BE??<br>
$240 fine for having your dog in the Park and $1,000 for littering. The dog is welcome, the misbehaving climber is not!

Toilet Paper, Egg Shells, Cigarette Butts, Old Chalk Balls, ....all left by Thoughtless Clueless climbers.
