Description 

The centerpiece of Kelly, this is the location of some of the canyon's most classic problems including Icy Mike, Dope Lounge, Donkey Punch, Green Mile Direct, and many others. Days worth of excellent climbing may be had in this small area. Lots of these problems are high with slopey topouts and bad landings - bring pads.

Getting There 

Walk right from the Trailer Park past some nice-looking cliffs until you see the Donkey Punch Wall, which begins with a right-trending layback problem, on the left. Dope Lounge, an overhanging highball problem, is directly across the canyon.
