Feelin' Groovy opens a direct line up the Sunset Wall, where the Marble Caves guard the Redwood Coast like ancient sentries whispering adventurous secrets. This one-pitch sport climb measures just 50 feet but packs a punch for anyone looking to test their skills on a moderate 5.8 route. The climb follows a prominent groove and trough—natural features carved into the rock that guide your hands and feet upward. Though the groove still carries traces of dust and lichen, a steady flow of climbers tends to sweep it clear over time, making this route more inviting with each visit. Protection is straightforward: six well-placed bolts lead safely to bolted anchors, offering a reassuring frame as you ascend.

The area lies along the sharply forested California Redwood Coast where the air tastes of salty ocean breeze mixed with the scent of damp timber and granite. The climb itself invites you to feel the movement of the rock beneath your fingertips—the groove almost shaping itself around you, powering your upward push. The first moves require careful footwork through uneven terrain, but the natural feature soon opens into a rhythm of holds leading to a satisfying finish.

Access to Sunset Wall is manageable, with a crisp approach that threads through coastal woodland and granite outcrops. The trail offers gentle elevation change but demands sturdy, well-gripping shoes—expect damp spots and the occasional slippery stone. Timing your climb for mid-morning or late afternoon ensures you avoid the intense midday sun, a critical factor given the wall’s southern exposure.

For paddlers venturing inland to climb or hikers seeking a quick afternoon challenge, Feelin' Groovy offers a concise, enjoyable route. It's ideal for climbers looking to brush up on lead climbing technique with solid protection in a setting that stirs the senses without overwhelming with length or difficulty.

Prepare with hydration in the cooler months and sun protection in summer. Seasonal rainfall can leave the rock slick, so check weather reports beforehand. With only one pitch, this climb is perfect as a warm-up or for those short on time but eager for quality rock. Local advice suggests patience cleaning the groove holds on less busy days to enhance grip and flow.

Whether you’re drawn by the nearby redwoods, the serene ocean views, or the call of the rock itself, Feelin' Groovy at Sunset Wall holds promise for both new and seasoned climbers alike. It’s a concise, hands-on reminder of the coast’s quiet yet compelling climbing options.
