About PATC Wall (aka Skyline Wall):

More bomber granite, but this area is a simple walk down from the Egg boulder, 5 minutes east along the Ridge Trail from the summit. The last part of the Ridge Trail (east of the summit) that you scramble along on bare granite for a couple hundred feet, is actually running along the top of the PATC Wall. There are pretty easy access points going down north at either end of the wall in order to get to the base. 80 feet at its tallest, there no permanent anchors on top (except for the anchor below the huge roof, shared by "Dobie Gillis", "Waste Age" & "Psycho Babble"), so a quick jog back down is required. The routes are numbered going from east to west (i.e., going towards the summit of the mtn.).
Approach: ~3mi (4.8km) along Saddle Trail from Berry Hollow trailhead.
Approach Time: ~1.5 hours
Latitude, Longitude:
Access Issues:
Rock Type: Granite
Type of Climbing: Trad
Sun Aspect: All Day Shade
