Duck Wall lies just left of Lookout Point (separated by a steep, brushy gully), directly below the Diamond, and right (east) of Rattletale. The Main Wall has the sections of white rock one can see from town and has a large, left-facing roof at top. The east side is slabbier, darker rock that merges with Lookout Point.
Except on the East Slabs (also visible from town), the wall is steeper, on average, than Lookout Point, but generally less than vertical. The East Slabs, between the Main Wall and Lookout Point, presently have no routes, yet plenty of potential for lower-angle adventure. Hidden from view (from town) are the Diamond Gully side on the left (west) end, the Middle Tier, which is just below the Main Wall, and WOTI, the Wall of Ten-thousand Insects, at the bottom.
Take the trail to Lookout Point, staying left at the huge Midnite boulder, then right at the next T intersection, heading towards the Private Idaho turnoff. Instead of going right to Private Idaho, continue up left of Brad Driscol towards the Party Zone, the steep, blocky white wall that has a waterfall at its left side in winter and spring. Duck Wall begins just left of the waterfall.
From below the waterfall, look for the trail that goes left into the woods. Duck Wall has several lower tiers separated by treed ledges, and the lowest tier is also known as the Wall of Ten-thousand Insects. WOTI has several fun, short crack climbs. For routes on the Main Wall and Diamond Gully, continue left along the base of this short wall and head up towards the Diamond gully. Several routes start close to this gully.
Alternatively, from the T intersection past Midnite boulder, branch off left from the Lookout-Point trail to head towards Rattletale. Upon reaching the boulder field, head up towards the Diamond gully. To reach other routes, take the trail right along a forested ledge below the cliff.
