Well-Dunn Wall Rock Climbing

This area is a testament to one man's vision, and the power of glue. Established by John Dunn, this small cave features chossy rock climbing at its best. Although the routes in this cave are highly manufactured, they are also extremely entertaining. If you can overlook some ethical issues, and simply enjoy the movement and challenge that these routes offer, you will have a great time here. If not, don't bother.

The routes tend to be short (40 feet), very steep, and powerful, with lots of two finger pockets. Although the routes have cleaned up well, the surrounding rock is still quite chossy, so beware of falling rock when the climber falls or strays from the line. With the exception of the Bride of Frankenstein, most of these route are rarely repeated, so bring a brush and expect to do some cleaning.

Like the Arsenal and the Wicked Cave, this area can get very humid and buggy. It also gets lots of morning sun. If it rains heavily, this cave tends to seep.

Also, be sure to bring a tarp or rope bag because this area has a strange white dust that clings to ropes, and then forms a residue on the inside of GriGris, making it impossible to feed rope. If this happens, simply wet a rag and wipe it out.
