[Hide Comment] This is listed in the guide book as three sperate climbs(Wounderwall -Left 5.7, Wonderwall 5.6, and Wonderwall - Right 5.7). I would suggest breaking these out to separate climbs. Jul 31, 2010

[Hide Comment] Don't listen to the haters, lead this.
Every single horizontal crack takes good gear, mostly micros, but with the odd finger or hand sized piece. If you haven't climbed this before, you get a horizontal crack every ~5 feet, and the placing stances are super chill. Get on it! Jun 9, 2023

[Hide Comment] A great climb, and great gear the whole way! I got around 8 pieces in. The top, where the gear is more sparse, has ~5 ft between available placements. Sep 24, 2024
