Description

Diminutive forty-five-foot, northeast-facing, superior granite wall located upstream of The Colony. Routes were discovered and climbed when motorcycle approaching the upper Boulder Mountain crags. **Location**: Three quarters of a mile upstream in an eastern tributary of Sycamore Creek or about one mile above the Man Knees Wall. The easiest approach is to hike (or a more difficult motorcycle ride of) the Pipeline trail from Round Valley. It's less than a two-mile track and the cliff is easily accessed from the north side of the old, rough road. There's a small tank southwest of the distinct pull out.
