Description Suggest change

This crag is just up canyon from the Membrane. It is sometimes called the Upper Membrane but Bingo Baby Wall is its original name. This area is completely shaded year round and has many classic routes that range from 5.10b to 5.13. Most of the grades are 5.12. There are 2-3 of every 5.12 grade at the crag so it is an awesome place to get some 12's under your belt!

Getting There Suggest change

Park as for The Membrane about 1 mile past the National Monument visitors center. See the parking area here.

Cross the river (on a log with an overhead guide rope) and turn left on the trail (crossing a few timber steps).

Follow the trail as it meanders through the woods and heads downhill a little. You'll approach a short wall with a shallow cave to your right. Follow the trail (it is slightly indistinct at this point) left around the point of the wall and then head uphill on a steep, but well-built trail.

Bingo Baby is the obvious climbing area you will come to after steep switch backing for a while, followed by a slight downhill section as you cross a hanging gully, then up again to the wall.
