Love variety? From easy to extreme, kick back on some 5.8s on The Peanut and the Fourth Horseman or go crank on a cluster of 5.12s and 13s on Churning Buttress.

They are just three of the six areas that comprise the Morning Glory Wall. It butts up to Cocaine Gully on its left side. Head left at the bridge and then peel off of the River Trail as you just pass Shiprock. Look up for the composting toilet and follow the stairs to the base of the wall. Not hard to spot, this excellent 350 foot wall of rock is a magnet for climbers near and far.

Coming in the late spring or summer? You might want to wait for the rock to cool off in the early evening. The sunlit wall can easily soak up an additional 10 degrees over air temperature.
