Description

This wall is located across the valley from the Tiekle River. It is a bit of a hike and drive off the main road. Take the old highway as close to the wall as possible then bushwhack for a few minutes to gain access to the avalanche shoot and scree field that will then bring you to the base of the wall. Make shore to avoid the avalanche season due to this wall being at the barrel of a very large snow slide path. The rock has a single two pitch climb on it that makes for a fun day.

Getting There

This wall can be see from the Richardson Highway across the valley form the Tiekle River. Follow the old highway as close to the crag as possible then hike from there to the base of the wall.
