Hall of Fame is a sport wall/corridor located in a gorgeous area high above the Sandstone Quarry off the Calico Tanks Trail. It is a boasts 12 sport routes mostly in the 5.10-5.11 range, however there is one 5.7 on the far left end of the wall.
When we first eyeballed this climb we were concerned about the rock quality, but everything held. If you compare this climb with the other one we did today at The Gallery, this climb (Ms. Adventure) is more difficult with thin crimpy holds and very little feet to start. You can get around a good chunk of the challenging start by stepping off some rock on the other side of the narrow corridor, but the move is committing. It might help to stick clip the second bolt. The climb gets easier as you go up.
Ms. Adventure is listed as 25 ft in the guidebooks, but it's longer, perhaps closer to 40 ft.
If you prefer to toprope there is easy access to the Ms. Adventure anchors by scrambling up. Be careful along the edge - laying down to set up the anchor and rope helps. There is one other set of anchors that can be used to rappel down to other anchors to set up a toprope for a couple of the harder climbs, but not all climb anchors can be set up as toprope without leading them.
