Fee Demo Wall

How do I get there? All I know is it is located in the Middle Fork area. Also is this stuff overbolted slab or real?

I'ts read and not over bolted. PM Colin for more info. Search the site, there have been several threads discussing this and other crags in that area.

I forget the name but you park in the large trailhead/parkinglot about 14 miles off i-90. Cross the bridge (huge arch)then follow the trail around 15 minutes to where you can see the wall. There are at least two trails to the wall take the second (near some steps in the trail) These direction may seem vague but they should work. Once on the trail you can't get lost and you'll know the trail by the bridge. The routes are pretty good. It would not be a good area on a sunny day. th ewall get shade in the afternoon. The route labeled .10b on the photodiagram must be a typo as it was harder than the .10d and the .11 to the left. Best one pitch slab climbing in the state. There are second pitches but we didn't climb them.

 

Just looked at the picture. Best routes are Pay to Play and Wonderful World. The 5.9 is a good route too but has one funky clip. If you are short you might want to bring an extender or I just might be a super wiennie.

I hear you on that 10b. I think it's called "Sub-Aquous Tractor Removal." I was expecting something about as hard as the crux on Online but that sucker was waaaaay harder. The closest thing to pure friction climbing that I've ever lead. Cool route, but a sandbag for sure.
