Bullet Hole Rock area has a variety of bouldering, top rope problems and several short lead climbs. The rock is Dakota sandstone and typically good quality. There are rarely more than a couple of people here mainly on weekends, but the area does see the occasional group of drunken highschoolers that like to leave broken glass and trash in their wake. Efforts from the Mesa State College Outdoor Program have aided in keeping the area clean.
