Description

The lower cliff is where the original climbs were established at Wallula. The rock here tends to be more solid than the upper cliff, but what you gain in rock quality you lose in height (most routes are 20 to 30ft). With both cracks and faces, the lower cliff hosts trad and sport climbs, which often share anchors. There are also a variety of inset top-rope anchors above the cliff, which can be accessed by going around the cliff to the north.

Be aware of rattlesnakes, and the friendly neighborhood survivalist who may come yell at you for being on "private property". Both of these hazards are best left alone if encountered.

Getting There

The trail to the lower band starts across the highway from the northern end of the parking pullout. A small no hunting sign denotes the start of the trail. The trail is steep at the beginning and end, but it only takes 5-7 minutes to get from the cars to the base of the cliff.
