Description

This subarea has mostly sport climbs, but there are also a few nice gear routes. The climbing here is mainly 5.10b-12c with some excellent sustained routes and also some routes in the woods further right, which offer nice climbing on short shaded walls.

Getting There

From the Bank campground, follow the road to a point where you can spot a now obvious trail on the left (approximately 1/2 mile from the campground?), leading up to the cliff. The trail switchbacks to the base of the climbing, and this will tell you if you are in the right area, by the trail you are on. Upon arriving atop the trail, you will be by a block separating 3 routes to the left and others right.
