in "Getting There", the trail is downhill from pullout #6, not #5. Also, the "few new routes" on the right are on The Ice Plant wall, which is in the current guidebook

Getting There Suggestion

The mileage listed is zeroed where the old road and new road split (Hwy 16 and 435). Please park nose or rear in when parking, especially in small lots.

Mileage: 2.9 miles
Crags accessed: Wall of Denial/Iceplant/Circus/Question Wall
Parking lot side of road: Right, large lot
Approach trail: Walk 100 feet downhill along guardrail to trail going uphill.
Approach time: 10-30 minutes more


Located mid canyon. Best access from the 6th pullout (on the right). Walk downhill from the pullout and find the obvious trail. Great trail, with steps leads up to the Wall of Denial - check out the arctic chimney issuing freezing air!! Continue past the wall heading into the corridor, passing Raven Wall on the left and Ice Plant routes on the right. Meander through the rocks and up the small dirt slope into the old river bed. The first set of Circus routes are on the bulge to your right, a taller wall exists just beyond that.
