Wailing Wall

This is the first amphitheater encountered when accessing the Bright Angel Walls from the approach trail. The amphitheater is east facing and offers good morning sun in the fall and spring, while also offering good afternoon shade in the summer. All day shade chasing is possible here in summer as a few high quality sport climbs actually face west. Winter climbing is not out of the question, just make sure all the ice has been melted before trying to scramble down into this crag.

The climbs here are short, mixed sport and traditional. Some of the climbs have bolted anchors while some use trees. There is decent limestone here with cool fossils and sea shells all around.
