Description
The Streaked Wall is the most intimidating wall in the park. It is severely overhanging and requires full commitment. Once you leave the ground retreat is not an option.
The route begins off Rubicon ledge and arches at what seems like 45 degrees across a beautifully blank wall. There is nothing but a solitary crack and big air.
The first and third pitches are the technical cruxes but each pitch involves a good bit of work. All but the last 3 pitches are A3.
Many of the belay and lead bolts have been replaced.
There are many "holes" on the route. Bring plenty of #2 sawed-off angles to drop into them.

Approach
From the Zion Canyon intersection, look due west, drool, park on the west side of the river in the small pull out. Don't block the gate.
Muster up all of your mental and physical fortitude and follow the obvious drainage. After 1/2 mile or so, veer left out of the drainage and follow a faint path to the base of the wall.
Bushwhack your way up right until you reach an obvious blank wall with a bolt ladder.
The route begins in an obvious dihedral at the left end of Rubicon ledge. There are 3 "approach" pitches to get to Rubicon.
