Description

Wall of Ages is in the same area as the other leaning tower base routes but is farther left than Yellow Corner. It is the closest area to the right side of Bridal Veil Falls. I believe the only route on this section of wall is the aid route "Voices of the Drown", and its free variation "Mama". It is mostly shady with afternoon sun.

Getting There

It has the same approach as the other base routes. Park in the Bridal Veil lot and follow the climbers trail behind the bathroom to the right of the closest house sized boulder. Continue up through talus and a steep trail marked by the occasional cairn. If you get lost continue up straight to the wall, then move left along the wall to approach the climb. Once you pass the Watchtower and Yellow Corner, continue left along the wall along a 3rd class gully and up to the base of the climb which is at the obvious end of the trail
