Description Suggest change

Sitting just around the corner to the left of the Hemingway Wall, the Permission Wall hosts three long routes with opportunities for more routes awaiting the motivated climber.

Climbs can be done as a single pitch to the top of a huge ledge with a rap anchor on the left hand side next to a large pine tree. Rap 50 feet into the corridor or continue up the face for another pitch to the summit of the Meadow Dome.

Per Monty: from the large ledge on top of pitch 1, unrope and walk climber's left towards the Tan Corridor.

Getting There Suggest change

Follow the climber access trail and take the left hand fork once you reach the Meadow Dome. The Permission Wall is a very large buttress separated from the Meadow Dome by a large chimney.
