Two small cliffs on either side of the entrance of Horse Gulch have friable rock, which once cleaned, yield enjoyable and dynamic climbing. The 40 foot cliff on the right has two leads while there's a fun TR up a dihedral & out roofs on the cliff to the left.
Getting There
For the 10 minute approach from the parking lot to the lead climbs, immediately cross the small creek to the right and follow the trail up the hill. Where it levels out, there's an old Budweiser can; go left and up to a rock shelf to gain the larger trail. Follow this to the first utility pole, then go left through the trees and drop down to the base of the cliff.
