Description Suggest change

This wall is adjacent to the Health Wall, and separated from it by a prominent arete. Look for Joe's Crack, a prominent handcrack that splits the wall and is clearly visible from a distance. If in doubt, look for the "benny silva" graffito chiseled into the rock at eye level.

Getting There Suggest change
