Waterstreak Wall

New York > Thacher SP > Hailes Cave South

Description

The first tall section of cliff you encounter on the main trail after taking the right-hand turn at the base of the access trail. Continues from the end of the Lower Misery Wall to the Mahican Wall. A seasonal spring splits the wall in half.

Getting There

The second wall on the right after the Lower Misery Wall. If Dogs Had Thumbs and Aquamanlius start at the base of the cliff on the main trail, while the Dunning-Kruger Effect starts on the ledge directly right of the Helmus Crevice.
