The great curving line of Yosemite Wall is a fantastic climb and sets the standard for this superb section of the Cove. All the routes are in the higher grades following steep and technical walls with some fierce bulges for added difficulty. For the most-part the rock is immaculate fused limestone, however the far left-hand side is slightly less stable. Guidebook page 287.
