Comments: This is probably one of the most underrated climbing areas around; I hope it stays that way. I learned to climb there; I hope the climbing and the town never change.

Comments: exposure makes MK seem a little harder, stepping off the belay is kinda scary when doing this one for the first time. It would take a lot for the flake to blow I think, but who knows.

It was ground breaking when it was established, pretty moderate these days. Most of route is 5.8R chimney climbing, pretty secure. Just remember, it was soloed super fast in a lean year seven or eight years ago, and climbed with a bottle of wild turkey while knock down stinking drunk last year, just to put it in perspective, still fucking classic though.
