Description Suggest change

A good winter wall with several classic routes. South facing, the wall gets winter sun from mid-morning to afternoon. Routes listed from left to right are:

Pocket Change (5.11c/d)
Route of All Evil (5.11c/d)
The Bowels of Hell (5.11d)
Payday (5.10a/b)
Vegetable Massacre (5.11a, sport)
Rebate (5.10-, sport)
Gold Rush (5.8+, sport, separate anchor)
Easy Money (5.7, sport, separate anchor)
Wedding Day (5.10+/5.11-, sport, up and right of the lower Pocket Change ledge)

Pocket Change is rumored to be one of the best 11c's in the state. (As long as you consider Golden Stairs to be 11b).

There are some moderates on the right side of the cliff 5.8 - 5.11a.

Getting There Suggest change

Hike past Major Wall and follow trails that wind steeply up to the cliff base. There are two trails that will take you to the wall, one of which involves some slight scrambling. Once you get near the cliff make a left. (A right takes you to Alcohol Wall South). Pocket Change Wall is just around the corner from Alcohol Wall South.
