Darling of the RRGCC. This area, along with Muir Valley has become the focus of almost all recent development in the last five years. The climbing areas are all located within tributaries of Big Sinking Creek. There is tremendous untapped potential and lots of unreported development as well. The area is popular with locals for horseback riding and four wheeling as well.
