Description

This crag is southwest facing, gets sun most of the day and is a good place to go if it is cold. The brown rock offers good, moderate climbing. This area is secluded and well worth the hike to get away from the crowds around Echo Cove.

Getting There

Continue past Echo Cove on the dirt road toward Keys' Ranch and the Rusty Wall. About halfway between Echo Cove and the gate for Keys' Ranch is a small pullout on the left (south) side of the road. Park here (as for Chump Clump).

Cross the dirt road and walk north up an obvious wash for roughly a half mile. A couple hundred yards before you reach a rocky slope straight ahead, turn left (west) into a canyon. A short distance up the drainage and not far above the bottom of the drainage is the Lower Lost Mule Wall on the right. If you continue up the drainage, you'll encounter a pinnacle on the right (with Nebraskan Rump Rangers) and a bit further on (also on the right) the main Lost Mule Wall.
