Description:

Formerly known as Sofa Kingdom, this is the premier crag at Cougar Canyon for anyone looking to pull down hard. This cliff is characterized by a slightly overhung lower half covered in pockets, followed by a terrifically steep upper half on bulletproof rock. Much of the best climbing at conspiracy wall is in the 5.11+ to 5.12+ range making this cliff a good choice for climbers looking for more challenging lines. Not that a 60m rope will allow you to lower back to the belay ledges, but use a 70m if lowering all the way to the ground.

Directions / Travel Info:

From the base of Toad Hall follow the trail that leads east into the forest at the bottom of the canyon. When the trail splits take the left fork (right fork goes to Alice Pond) for approximately 2 minutes before branching right up a grassy slope. Follow this trail to a small cliff band, and walk up the obvious ramp to gain a grassy plateau. From here, Conspiracy Wall is visible. Follow the trail as it descends into a gully and the base of the scree slope beneathe Conspiracy. Walk up the right side of the scree to the cliff base. Fixed ropes access right ledge. Approach Time: 40 minutes roughly.
