About North Rim:

This is a nice 40 foot wall that gets a lot of sun in the winter. Walk along the trail from the main parking area to where the trail goes right up to the rim. Bolted rap anchors and a tree are present along the edge.
Approach: Park in the first little lot directly to the left, literally right after you turn on to falling rock road. follow the well defined trail for a quarter mile and you will be at the top of the wall, just rappel down to the belay spot from there
Approach Time: from the parking lot about 1 min.
Latitude, Longitude:
Access Issues: Since you start above the canyon you need to just walk to the bolts and rappel down. To get out you need to climb down about thirty yards below your belay spot to a well defined trail. head west on trail about a quarter mile until you come to a spot in the cliffs called the "worm Hole" at this spot you can climb up very easily then squeeze through a small hole after you get through the hole you will be back on top of the canyon. just go 10 yards north and you will be back on the main trail.
Rock Type: Limestone
Type of Climbing: Sport/Trad
Sun Aspect: All Day Sun
