Description

The Hueco Wall is a backcountry crag with a high concentration of moderates, the perfect destination for the 5.10 climber, as all but a handful of its routes fall into that rating. The routes at Hueco Wall utilize deep pockets and huecos on a vertical to gently overhanging formation, similar to the routes found at Malibu Creek State Park. The routes are fun and worth the long hike.

The Hueco Wall is the ideal summer destination as the wall is in the shade most of the day.

Getting There

Park at the Sandstone Peak Trailhead. Take the Sandstone Peak trail until you hit the Backbone Trail. Take a left on the Backbone Trail and continue past Sandstone Peak (~1.5mi). Proceed towards the Water Tanks (~1mi), then head down the Mishe Mokwa trail for about a hundred yards (wall will be on your right), turn onto the dry creek bed. In the creekbed, just before two large boulders, follow a faint climbers trail that leads up to the wall. Hike is 2.7mi from Sandstone Peak Trailhead.
