Description 

This west and north facing wall only has a half a dozen routes on it but they are worth doing. More orange in color the wall is steep and over 100 feet tall. On the north end there is some really steep rock with only two routes. At this time the easiest route is 5.11 so you might want to warm up elsewhere.

Getting There 

From the drainage continue past Slate Nation's trail to the left. A bit farther on you will find two or three large saguaro cactus on the right side or the drainage. A cairn marks the steep but short hike to the base of the wall. Or you can go up to Karma Cave and do a short rap down to the base of the Rough Rider Wall.
