Description

Fletchers Bluff is a large and complex cliff band in a quiet and remote setting. There are six sectors, Left End, Kansas Wall, Central Wall, Ollie’s area, Moondog wall, and the Sundog Wall. As of now, there are only some of the Sundog routes listed.

The cliff has many styles of climbing, from slabs, to roofs, to cracks of all sizes and most notably, excellent face climbing. The cliff is south facing and generally very warm, a good winter destination if you can get out there(road is not maintained for winter travel). Some areas seep, especially the Sundog area, where most routes will be wet in the spring, and seeps will return after heavy rain.

The rock at Fletchers is excellent, and hopefully more climbers will get out here in the future. This is one of those places that doesn’t see the traffic it deserves.

Getting There

Continue on Route 9 for eight miles from route 180. Look for a gravel logging road, #09-13-0, on the left. Follow the dominant logging road, passing three intersections for 2.8 miles to a widened pullout on the right. Specifically, at 1.3 miles from Route 9 you will come to the first intersection which is a left fork. Continue straight, slightly right. Another.4 miles a final fork to the right as you near the pullout. Often there is a cairn marking this spot. With the exception of mud season, all roads are drivable in a passenger car.
