This is a remote climb along an unsupported stretch in the far reaches of northwestern Sonoma County. “The Wall”, as it is known to locals, is the third steepest climb on the Sonoma/Napa/Lake climb list, just 1/10 % behind the legendary Oakville Grade in Napa (the shades of the elevation grid on the Climb Page tell the tale like few others you will see). This climb is the third and final in a series of challenging climbs travelling eastbound on Skaggs Springs/Stewarts Point Roads from Lake Sonoma.

This is one of 4-5 hard climbs in Western Sonoma County. The climb starts at the Haupt Creek bridge where giant redwoods tower overhead and the Gualala river flows. Get your pictures there because you won't have hands free until the top. There are only three ways to get to the bottom: Skaggs Spring Road from the East, Annapolis Road from the North, or by descending the wall then turning around and climbing back. However you arrive at the bottom, you've likely already done some serious climbing. The steepest corner of the climb is about .5 miles from the summit where the inside corner looms at an apparent 45 degrees -- it's not. But it's sure intimidating from below. You can get water at two places in the Kashia tribe "Rancheria" at the summit. There is a hose bib in front of the tribal center near the intersection. There are also signs warning visitors not to stop. So proceed to the Kashia school and use the spiggot behind the school.
