Directions to What About Bob Wall

This wall is on private property. Be respectful. Sign required waivers.
From SH parking lot walk towards the old approach trail, opposite end of the parking lot from the Gallery, Volunteer Wall approach trail. Take the right trail and walk till you cross a stream. After you cross the stream you will see a trail heading up left. Follow this up. The 1st trail on your right(just cut and not racked so its hard to see) will take you to WS-FD. The second(not finished but will be soon) trail on the right will lead to G-OR.The left branch will take you the the remainder of the routes. All other walls listed on this side can be approach by following the cliff line trail left. Alternate, easier approaches from the parking lot will be given for each wall.

If you can't find the climbs you can just go to RIVAL WALL(which is easier to find) and follow the wall to the right as you face it. It's a short, easy walk to Bowling Pain.

I heard a rumor that the sport routes on these walls were going to have stiffer grades than Muir valley. After sampling some on the routes I suspect this was more than a rumor.

the approach trail goes through a hornet's nest. all 3 members of our party were stung. on the return we bushwhacked through the rhodos to avoid that area. might be worthwhile to hike up to Rival Wall to avoid that issue.

hmmm, quite a few routes there are concensus high ratings and are def not piles. if you went right, those routes kinda suck. maybe you need some new slab shoes.....

Power line down as you pass Trailhead and get to the parking lot of sore heel.
