Starting up Swamp Rat. A great canyon view awaits ...

Description 

Located on the east side of ranch, Cliffs of insanity is right next to the Roman Wall, which provides great climbs for the novice recreation climber. This area is recommended for spring and late summer/fall climbing. If you climb this area in the summer months you will most likely be baked by the sun.


Getting There 

Follow the Ranch Trail up to the Roman wall and head south.

Good area for beginning leaders- lots of 5.6-5.8 routes (as in that's all that's here.) Nice, tall cliff too, and amazing view from the top. I usually hit Cliffs of Insanity to warm up for stuff on Roman Wall.
