Another seldom seen waterfall off of the Davidson ...


Description 

Named for Arizona hardman, Paul Davidson, this wall is home to a bunch of the hard classic cracks of Paradise Forks. Picture golden brown basalt columns and steep, long, demanding routes. During the summer season, this wall is in shade early in the morning and sun thereafter.


Getting There 

Davidson Wall is on the west-facing canyon wall opposite The Pillow Wall. If you take the trail from the parking lot straight on to the rim, you'll be looking at the Davidson Wall when you hit canyon.

Just a question to Paul Davidson or anyone else that knows. Any truth to a tale I heard told that Paradise Lost was originally Davidsons Dihedral and what we call Davidsons now was actually called the "Kiney"(sp?)
