The Dungeon can be approached from the Falls Wall Trail from the Creek Bottom Trail or from theRim Rock Trail. Some of its walls are no more than 3ft wide, which provides nice shade in the summer.There are two entrances--for the small person, you can squeeze through a small crack on the W faceoutside the dungeon (see Steebos' Cousin). Or a passage way on the N end (see The Iron Maiden photo)leads into your dark, dismal, doom...

The Classics
Mountain Project's determination of some of the classic, most popular, highest rated routes for The Dungeon:
Walking towards the Dungeon from Falls Wall, there is a crevase that can be found along the canyon rim. A few easy chimeny moves drop you into a windy passage way that eventually opens up into the dungeon.
Amen to the comment about the people breaking the bottles. I could have had sutures had I not been paying attention on this route. I cleaned as best I could while hanging out. Robb
The Dungeon is not located on the north end of the west rim as stated by Ben in the original Dungeon description from 2001. The Dungeon is located just north of the western-most projection of the east rim, near the middle of the entire east rim. It is just north of The Falls Wall on the EAST rim.
