Description Suggest change

This is a very newly developed area featuring a few short, bouldery lines as well as some mid grade quality trad routes. In the near future there will be some more sport routes as well. This is a good place to escape the crowds and climb in solitude.

As the (currently) most remote wall at Muir Valley, expect to encounter more of Nature than usual. If Bruisebrothers or Sunnyside are crowded, then just continue another 10 min down the trail and you'll likely have the cliff to yourself. 

Many of the routes will stay dry in the rain.

Sun: Afternoon

Getting There Suggest change

Follow approach to Bruisebrothers, but instead of going up the trail into Rebel Hollow continue following the scenic trail downstream along the east side of the creek (Middle Fork of Lower Devil Creek).  Do not take the stairs or old logging road to the Bowling Alley, but instead continue into a flat area (veering slightly left, but not up the logging road that takes you to the Bowling Alley) into the bottom of Hatton Hollow and cross the small creek coming out of Hatton Hollow. Soon you'll see an old logging road going up to a wall across the hollow from the Bowling Alley. When you get to the top follow the road left for a few hundred feet and you'll hit the cliff. The routes will be to your right. Approach time is 10-15 min from clearing and bridge below the mouth of Rebel Hollow. 

This west facing wall is on the south side of Hatton Hollow, directly across the creek from the Bowling Alley. 

The Bowling Alley gets morning sun and the South Side wall gets afternoon sun.
