Description Suggest change

Walk just past the The Hidden. Turn around, and look up and back left a bit and you will see one of the best cliffs in the whole canyon!

The wall faces east and is shady most of the day. Be ready with your best skin as most of the routes here are crimp-feasts! Every route is pretty darn awesome!

Getting There Suggest change

Head up a hard-to-see gully just past the The Hidden. You will eventually be led to the crumbly wall on top of which The Balcony sits.

There is a 5.9-ish Approach Pitch. The approach pitch takes you up to the slopey ledge at the base of The Balcony.

This wall has seen a good amount of development since the Ruckman guidebook. The Climbing is Fantastic!
