Description
A steep, clean, blocky wall, home to a bunch of Exit 38's moderate to advanced routes. The grades range from 5.9 -> 5.12b and are on blocky metamorphic rock; it's easy to tell the grade by two factors, jugginess and thugginess. If it looks steeper or smoother, it's harder.
Nevermind is really part of the lower half of the extensive cliff that forms the east wall of Change Creek. The mossy, crumbly upper half is easily visible from the Iron Horse Trail or the highway. There is more rock above and to the right, but a ring of dirt and trees between the lower and upper cliffs blocks access to the former and the latter is choss with bad belay spots.
Nevermind is a bit like a poor man's World Wall; although the rock isn't serpentine, it is similarly clean and slippery. Rain gathers in the upper cliff and seeps endlessly after rain, but some of the routes stay dry in a shower and they're always shaded.
Getting There
Join the Iron Horse trail either from the gravel pullouts or the Mt Washington trailhead. Go east and cross the first bridge over Change Creek. Right after the big bridge there is a steep trail on the right with a short fixed rope. Follow this up through the woods for a few dozen yards and you'll see the wall on the left.
