Description Suggest change

WW2 is a gently overhanging amphitheater with short powerful routes. The rock isn't as solid as at WW1, so holds are prone to breaking. Only a few routes at WW2 are natural. The bulk of the routes have been manufactured or reinforced in some way- (you’ve been warned). World Wall 2 also features many climbs below the wall itself and on an outcrop to the left.

Getting There Suggest change

Hike up the Little Si trail. Take a right at the Boulder Garden Loop then....

To get to the Black Forest: At the top of Canopy Crag look for a trail leading east through a bit of a gorge/slot/canyon in the rocks.  This will lead over a slab and across the hillside eventually depositing you at the black forest slabs (see pic).

To get to World Wall 2: Around 3 or 4 switchbacks above Canopy Crag you'll see an obvious trail/old-road leading off to the right (trending downhill) with a large downed log across it (and some smaller sticks in front).  Follow this for some time until you see a little trail (ramp) in the hillside. Follow this path, it will switch back once to gain elevation, then it will gently descend the hillside down and to the right toward the wall (again, see pic).
