Description

This is the large, slabby cliff east of the town of El Portal, visible as you drive up Highway 140 towards Yosemite Valley.

Parkline Slab lies just inside the Park's western boundary, about one mile west of the Arch Rock entrance station.

Many moderate routes are found here and it can be a nice escape from the Valley on cold days. November through April is the best time to climb at Parkline Slab. Most routes get winter sun all day long.

Getting There

Park in a turn out below the cliff.

Please be very careful on the approach to not knock rocks into the road. It is very loose so be extra careful and watch your feet.

Do not approach this cliff by scrambling directly up the drainage. The approach follows a faint climber's trail. From the road, start up the trail on the right side of the drainage. Follow this as it switchbacks to the base of the slab.
