looking for info on how best to find and identify this wall.

I haven't actually climbed on it, but I did I.D it. When you travel just east of Arch Rock, on the other side of the river (north), there is a wall with signature 11mi bathtubs and bolts. I think this is the wall you are looking for. May be possible to wade the river from the nearby bridge.

Seems like a pretty straight forward approach.

thanks for the replies! i appreciate it!

yes i know it seems straight forward, call me slow. been years since i have been in the canyon and i am returning with my family (kids 7 & 11. I was looking at this wall and the water dome for low grade and easy access.

Adam are you saying this wall is actually visible with direct access (stream crossing) from the road with visible bathtubs and bolts?

is this about right?
general location.......
- across the river from Arch Rock
- east (downstream)of Arch Rock.

approach.........(to avoid a stream crossing?)
- best approach is to park at the the bridge 300 feet downstream from arch
- cross the bridge and walk along the river heading upstream for about 100 feet
- cut up the hillside (the trail cliffs out if you don't) aiming for a notch on top of the cliff
- Summit the hill
-then head back down and left to reach the cliff by the river (apparently making a circle back to the river?). You know you're there when you see the obvious, low angle, water pod covered wall.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
