About Self Potential Wall:

This area sports two of the best routes at Wintergreen. This is basically at the lowest end of the rib of rock atop which "The Plunge" overlook sits, not far below "The Cracks" and "Beginner Slab".
Approach: Go down the "Brimstone Trail" for 50m past the turn off to "Beginner Slab" and "The Cracks", to a nice flat area just right of the trail (when going downhill), at the start of a grove of pines. Traversing west, "Fear of the Gumby" will be obvious, and following the base of the wall downhill a few more meters leads to the steep wall with most of the other climbs.
Approach Time: <10 mins from "The Plunge" overlook.
