DescriptionSunday Wall is probably the most visited crag in Unaweep Canyon and for good reason. It hosts both sport and trad climbs up to 5 pitches long, on excellent gneiss/granite, ranging from 5.6 to 5.12+. Most routes follow steep cracks or blank looking faces. Sport routes are difficult and exciting, trad routes are asthetic and fun, but take a little getting used to. Getting ThereDrive West from Divide Road for 2.2miles and look for a large dirt pull-out, on the right hand side of the road, with a visible "Access Fund" sign, it's pretty easy.

The Wave 5.10 CO : Grand Junction area : ... : Sunday Wall
At first glance, this route looks like a squeeze job that ties into Black Dynamite. This is an independent line that has some great climbing. Some traffic and this would clean up nicely.Head up to the first two bolts passing under the wave. Unclip the first bolt after clipping the 2nd. Extend the 2nd to avoid bad rope drag. Right as the wave becomes shallow there is a seam (the crux) right above (not Black Dynamite) that leads straight up to some varied crack climbing ...[more] Browse More Classics in CO
