About Turtle Wall

Turtle Wall is Chuckwalla's less-crowded neighbour — a short 30-minute walk past Chuckwalla from the same parking lot, holding steep Navajo sandstone with 'big pockets' and a natural arch/cave feature. East-facing so morning sun, afternoon shade. All routes fully bolted. Same 48h wet-sandstone minimum.
