The Orphan and Rimwall

Date/Time
Date(s) - Mon Aug 25 2025
8:00 am

Notes:

First, up to the Orphan which includes a rocky creek bed and some steep sections.  From there we drop back down to the col and work our way south to ascend Rimwall.  This section has 2 or 3 short but steep hands on climbs.  From Rimwall we descend through a couple easy down climbs, have amazing views straight down a huge cliff (if you want) and go down a great scree run.

A couple short sections have some exposure.  Much of the hike till Rimwall is not on a trail.  A short but steep hike with some technical difficulty.  Wide open views for much of the way.

A short car shuttle is required.
