Description This wall contains mostly moderate, short, friction routes. It's a mix of patina-covered, exfoliated, and relatively clean, coarse rock.
Getting There From the Willit Pillar, just behind campsite #3, walk right and scramble through the boulders. This wall is actually the back side of the Varnished Wall.

| Quoted from the ASCA website: "Chivalry's Not Dead": Both protection bolts replaced. Note that a thin horizontal near the top, which appears to have once had a fixed pin, is now very difficult to protect without specialty gear - however, the climbing is easy, and the more difficult climbing by the first two bolts is already runout.

| From my memory, and notes I made in my guidebooks: Vogel describes Eyes of Amber as "ascends the brown face 25 feet left of Water Moccasin" and Chivalry's Not Dead as a "three-bolt route 15 feet right of Eyes of Amber," implying that it is only ten feet from Water Moccasin. He also describes a toprope (Snakes in the Grass, 5.9) between Chivalry's Not Dead and Water Moccasin. Bartlett describes Water Moccasin as "20 feet right of Eyes of Amber," and lists a toprope (Snakes in the Grass, 5.8+) in between the two. Based on these descriptions, and on the complete absence of a second bolted line left of Snakes in the Grass, I believe that Chivalry's Not Dead and Eyes of Amber are the same route. If I'm wrong, then the route I submitted as Eyes of Amber is more likely Chivalry's Not Dead, though there are no other bolted lines left of this all the way to Wheat Chex. (This would not be the first time that Vogel described one route as two; witness "Cunning Linguist" and "We'll Get Them Little Pricks" on Nuclear Reactor Rock.)

| can somebody tell me what about a route in Indian Palisades corridor, it is past wheat chex about as far as you can go to the right. I saw 2 bolts going over a small roof. Is this a mixed route or an unfinished route. Where does this route end? thanks |
