Warning Access Issue: Closed to Climbing until further notice DetailsDrop down

Description Suggest change

An old quarry wall that's hidden across from Rogers High School in Newport. Not seen from the road, but once you walk into the trails, you notice it goes up hill. Take that path to the top of the wall and walk down the east side to the bottom. Expect broken glass, quartzite and graffiti.

There would be some bouldering and a little scrappy top roping and leading  (at least one route with old bolts), but the park is closed to climbing by Newport City ordinance

While the park is closed to climbing please don't post up any routes. There is a little more historical information at ClimbRi Hopefully someday it will be opened. In the mean time, not perturbing the authorities will probably give a better chance of that happening.

​The Ordinance​​​

Getting There Suggest change

Head into Newport down Bellvue and turn right onto Ruggles. Park right across from the Rogers high school in the dirt. Take the trail into the woods and up the hill
