Hidden Blade

Walkabout

Traverse the low, narrow shelf trending rightward and diagonally up to a short corner that leads past some more ledges. Follow obvious route to the top.

This is a east southeast facing wall on the left side of the trail about 200 feet in. Walk through a squeeze in the rocks, over a rocky hump and down until you can easily enter a wash on the left. The Wall of Payne is the tall, steep wall on the left. The rock is on city property. The adjacent neighbor has been known to holler at people climbing. Please contact me on the Mountain Project email link if this happens.
