Description
Swiss Wall has great history! The crag was initially bolted in an unique style. You'll want to bring your "A" game, the original routes may be tricky to protect and read, exciting, and could push your skills. However, Swiss Family Robinson is a stellar trad line that deserves lots of traffic.
In the last 6 years, this crag has seen a few additions with some multipitch lines and a couple mixed lines. The lines start above MK and LTE, They are 5.10 bolted slab climbs. There is an adventurous 5.7 trad climb above RHC that trends up a ramp to the right, called Fun To Do. There is another adventurous 5.8 trad line that takes you above the bolted slab climbs, climbing through blocks and cracks. If you're adventuring up the multipitch lines, bring a 70 metre rope or you'll end up short!
Excellent granite that gets sun in the afternoon. Bring a wag bag please, there's lots of rocks and little place to decompose your droppings.
Getting There
From the parking lot, take a trail that starts in the West end (the common trail west around the gate). Take this until the trees clear. Look to your right, you should see a trail that heads up and eventually left towards the cliff face. This route takes you to the base of the climbs. Letter to the Editor is the first climb to greet you. There's a small ledge for the rest of the climbs to the left.
