Getting There 

Park at the small pullout just past the Hell parking (just past the 11-mile sign).

Walk down the hill to where a pipe used to span the river; cross the river then head immediately left.

Follow the trail past a fire pit and up a talus slope (watch for the subtle right turn).

The Small Wall with three lines is a few minutes up the trail on the left. Continue up the slope passing the left end of Forgotten Trails.

Keep following the well-defined trail up. The Blue Walls are an additional 15 to 20 minutes and are on the right.

Probably about 30 to 35 minutes total.

Lewis cross American Fork river, heading up to the Blue Wall. The rope traverse was in good shape at the time. Fun little start to the day! This rope traverse is just off the road from the parking area. A water pipe appears to have crossed here at one point, the cement foundations are still visible in the area.

Unknown 5.10c route starts on the lower angled rock on the bottom left and heads up into the prominent crack. Fun climb! The bottom is a little dirty until it gets more traffic. 6-bolts to chain anchors - all in good shape.
