Wallface,NY






 
Wallface is divided into 4 sections. From left, Diagonal wall, to middle section, Shield area then Central Depression, Mental Block area, ranges 3/8 miles. Diagonal on picture above overtly showing on left section.  Colossal boulders in the Indian Creek clearly disclose historical transition of the wall and earthly transformation. Narrow sign of gorge and boulder formation in the valley matches that was done in not that long periods ago.  In the center of the face illustrates old transformation of rock. Most of rock, lava are consisted of soft, muddy ingredients, then piled directly under the cliff.  That
formation happened early stage of this face's formation. 
 


 

Head wall of Wallface. Right is rampart, consisting Shield area.
Face looked like rampart. 
 


 

 
 

Near to Shield area, I recognized Oranutang and Lion.
2nd lean to, very close to Cobb's clearing on Indian pass trail. 
 
Route condition was not preferable due to rain.
 
Happy guys at the starting point for Diagonal route. 2012, I bivouacked beside of this table rock.
 

Diagonal approach take path to overhung boulder, just after creek.
 
 
The ladders we could see at the Indian Pass saved deforest of species for 2 steep outcrop sections.

 
Near the " Summit Rock ", there was lumber stairway.
 
Registering at ADJ - Indian Pass entrance.  Sang Park, Seung and Sanggeun Han
 


 
 
At around 9 p.m. we had to wake up to dig ditch to creek run quick. The water already soaked Seung's  Arcteryx Bora backpack.  Hong and Shin are clearing small pebbles that are blocking
creek run. 

Humongous boulder shelter, adjacent rock gap provide good sleep for 10 people.
 



Nice boulder shelter for 4 people.  The other night, 5 stayed at this slanted rock.
Near the junction point to red trail and diagonal creek, terrain require careful jump to another boulder.  Should be careful.   
 

In 20 year period, I've never come by at ADJ, just info center parking lot. 2014  Indian pass outing made that happened.
Heart lake was in state of tranquil with morning mist.




ADJ Nature Museum looked pretty small, however it was nicely organized.

 
Actor was Sanggeun Han. Fortuitously I watched him, then he made this happen, what a funny action. 
 

 
At 8:30 pm. Sang Park alerted rain creek started merge to Seungmo's backpack. Then 4 men
forced to wake up, and started to dig ditch to creek water run rapid and drain quick.
 
For the trip and climbing the Wallface, even though we couldn't reach top section of the rock,
all the members were happy from hard Indian Pass trail with 50 pound over backpack.
