Description
A secluded southwest-facing steep limestone wall. The majority of the routes here are in the 5.11 to 5.12 range. Be prepared for some loose rock by bringing a helmet and sunglasses. This is a crag with some very quality routes and an amazing view across the valley of Pikes Peak and the Temple.
Getting There
To access Caveman Wall continue walking west along this path, in the general direction of the Temple. After a few minutes you will come to a gradual turn to the left (south). Begin looking for a cairn appearing on the right side of the trail. When you are at the cairn go straight west over small scrub oak and begin down a reasonably well-defined trail, continuing southwest. Continue down this trail until you are between limestone cliffs to your left and to your right. The cliff to your left (south) is shady side. The cliff to your right (north) is Caveman Wall.
If you missed the cairn you will end up walking due south along a dirt road (not RRR). At some point try to cut right, to the west and rejoin the trail, trending in a westward direction.
