Description Suggest change

Fault Line has an excellent selection of V0 highballs plus a handful of harder and shorter problems in the V3 - V7 range. In terms of overall quality, Fault Line is almost as good as the Bachar Boulders or Deadman I, even though the problems are spread out over a wider area and some are a bit dirty from lack of traffic. Morning shade, sun in the afternoon.

Getting There Suggest change

Turn off the 395 onto Bald Mountain Rd heading Northeast. After 1.6 miles turn right onto 2S42. After another 1.6 miles head left and you'll quickly arrive at a parking area near the Highball Wall.

The road holds snow in the winter and early spring. Generally you can access Fault Line earlier in the season than Hartley Springs, but it takes longer to melt out than the Bachar Boulders and Deadman 1-3.
