Description Suggest change

Tallulah's Main Wall is on the north side of the gorge.

Getting There Suggest change

From the Interpretive Center, head south toward the gorge rim following a gravel trail and down some steps.  There is a climber's kiosk directly in front of you.  Follow the climber's trail down to a 40ft down climb with serious consequences if you fall.  There is a fixed static rope here and it is recommended to rappel if not comfortable with the scramble. Following the downclimb, continue south on the trail and cross a small creek to get to the base of the cliff.  There are often Copperheads on either side of the creek in the warmer months.

An alternate way to get to the base is to find the top of Digital Delight and rappel in from the anchor. Two ropes are necessary to put you on the ledge below. This ledge is where most people start the route though it is actually the top of P1. From here you walk down and right, towards Mescaline Daydream and the other middle/right routes. Be cautious as there is a loose scramble on this ledge you must traverse directly below Divine Entropy.
