Description Suggest change

This short wall is right at ground level and has an unmistakable "wave" breaking right at the top. Most of the climbs are relatively easy until reaching the wave.

The wall faces south but is protected from the sun until late in the day by huge wall surrounding it.

Getting There Suggest change

Near the end of the canyon, across from the tin-roofed picnic pavilion, on the left (east) side of the road.

La Ola is a nice wall to hang out and do some easy to moderate routes. <br> <br> The two climbers are at the anchor for one of the easy climbs on the far right, either Pansy Cap (5.6) or Gospel Bird (5.7)<br> [photo taken from Espantasuegra]
