Scarface Wall

Rock Conditions: Wow, was the first thought that went through my mind when I first found this jewel. The rock quality is quite good for more than a majority of the route. Like most of the rock walls, along this stretch of the Missouri River, two horizontal chert bands divide the wall into two or three sections. Broken pockets of chert are just par for the course, in these parts! Belayers should stay alert and always wear a climbing helmet.

Weather Conditions: Scarface Wall receives plenty of sun, year around, so it dries very quick. Plan to experience great climbing conditions spring, fall, and winter, then beat the summer heat by planning to send these lines during the morning hours. No trees provide shelter from the sun at the belay areas.

Trail Conditions: Improved and free of branches.
