The premiere route on the cliff- 5.10 climbing rarely gets this much fun. Enjoy the jug haul to a distinct crux section, fighting the pump to reach the anchors!

Just Shut up and Bolt

This is probably the second best route on the cliff, but very good in its own right. Its the third route on the cliff as you approach, the first on the upper wall. A bouldery start leads to awesome climbing on the upper headwall.

This route still has loose holds on it.  If you go for the right holds though those are usually good.  Use a couple good underclings to climb past the first bolt then to a good position for second bolt.  Continue using edges and positive holds fight the pump to reach the anchor.

Start below and left of a roof.  Figure out a sequence low and continue up to the top on a few sharp holds.

A fun little cliff which gets sun late into the day.

Park at the Kraft Mountain Parking Lot at the very end of the drive into Calico Basin. Hike out east around Kraft Mountain, past Monkey Bar Boulder and Cannibal Crag. As you hike up the wash on the back side of the mountain, the first sandstone wall to your right will be the appropriately named Swirly Crag; Burns Wall is a little further on (~200 yards?) past that.

Once you spot Burns Wall's identifiable "humpback" silhouette (see photos), continue a little ways in the wash until you find the smooth plateau which marks the approach trail. I'm not 100% this is the best way, but it's the only one I could find. It's quite steep and sketchy in places. With that said, the climbs do seem fun!
