Description Suggest change

Rather good wall with 9 sick routes on it. The main feature of this wall is the long and exposed knife like arete which hosts Tears. Another great climb is the super relentless 'Bare-Fisted Grizzly Killer'.

Getting There Suggest change

About a 15 min hike to get to this wall. Located just before the Purgatory wall.

Taking in a good look at Peace Pipe 5.10c A must do moderate. Move to the left to merge onto Chockstoned 5.10b. For a stellar warm-up walk up the hill a bit for a killer 9+ by the name of Paha Sapa. All this action and more can be yours if you visit the Trail of Tears Wall.
