Set within the wider Cochrane Lane cliffs in Welsford, New Brunswick, the Waterfall Wall provides a raw, unpretentious atmosphere with rocky features that reward touch-sensitive movement. The bolted protection assures confidence throughout the vertical push, while the bolted anchor on top ensures a safe and uncomplicated descent. The wall faces east, catching morning sun which heats the rock and primes it for early ascents, with afternoon climbs benefiting from a refreshing shade. Given the moderate length and focused difficulty, this route invites climbers seeking a concise, adrenaline-packed visit rather than a lengthy endurance test.

Accessing Drytoolers Will be Prosecuted involves a straightforward approach from the established trailhead near the base of the Waterfall Wall.
