| A. Project B. "National Paranoia" 5.11b, Sport Follow the line of bolts up overhanging rock on positive lie-back holds. Head right and move up on small holds to an airy dino/deadpoint. A taller person may be able to just grab the edge. Hand traverse the positive edge and pull up to the slab above. Two bolt anchor. C. "Free America" 5.10a, Sport Two variations to the start, either traveres in from the left using a small crack/edge or climb directly up to the first bolt following a small crack. Stemming off the ramp to the right is possible, for a harder climb try to avoid this. Climb past some dirty hold to the clean face above. Pull the top and descend via Rap hangers. D. Project |
| This wall is a located down a 4x4 road that leaves from the top pull-out of the "Road Run" just before "The Gap" on the left, if heading away from Valdez.. If you chose to drive the road four wheel drive and high clearance is recommended, tread lightly. If you park in the pull out it is an easy 10 min. walk down the road to the wall. Follow the road until the skyline ridge to the left starts to run out. Where the end of the ridge terminates walk around to the other side and find the wall. It is farily obvious once you walk around the end of the ridge. The wall has nice southeren exposure and little road noise can be heard. |
