Lots of potential....
Description Friable cliff band with a purple hue. Huge potential for those willing to do some cleaning.
Getting There From Carbon Junction, take La Posta Road. Park in any of the pull-outs below the cliffs. Twenty minutes will take one to the cliff's base.

Comments on Purple Cliffs
By Matthias Holladay Jun 18, 2009 Comparatively speaking, the yellowish rock on the right side of the cliff band is of a less friable nature.
By smassey From: Las Vegas, NV Jul 6, 2009 Good to know you're still at work ferreting out the chossiest climbable rock in the Dgo area. I would love to hear if anyone actually repeats this. BTW, Julia's Outcrop in b'ham is quite good.
