Description
This wall is located directly behind (West of) Stone Temple. The climbs are comprised mostly of cannonball sized chert balls that protrude from the wall in multitude. The climbing is unique for the area due to the chert balls. The rating for the climbs are 5.7 to 5.9 ( please rate the climbs in MP ). This wall is secluded and somewhat difficult to access, but the climbs will make you smile.
All routes were originally graded with three stars and rated 5.8; we were having sooo much fun - we could not really rate the routes. We have since gone back and climbed the lower five and have placed ratings on the lower five routes that we climbed that day. Again, it was difficult to state how many stars each route deserved as they are all practically identical! This wall is gridded with cannonball cherts ! So please rate the routes after you climb them, Cheers.

Getting There
The best approach is to climb Penny Lane ( 5.2 -5.4 ) to access the gully north of Cannonball. Beware that the gully is filled with scree that may come raining down on the drainage left of Penny Lane. Other approaches involve walking up and around Wonderwall (tedious) or ascending (scrambling) the cleft between Rock of Ages and American Beauty.
