Description Suggest change

Nightland is a great climbing area in Lefthand Fork Canyon. Many of the climbs were done by Tom & Jeff Knight. It's a nice area with little traffic and fun climbing. It is broken up into different walls: Stairway to Heaven (south exposure), Lemonstone (west facing) and Hidden Wall (east facing). The rock is limestone and tends to be broken up in spots, so as always climb with care. This area should have been called Nightland originally (with no "K") but due to a miscommunication in a phone conversation (ca 1999) when the the old guidebook was being put together it has been misspelled ever since. 

Getting There Suggest change

From the Lefthand Fork turn drive 1.8 miles. Look for the obvious stair step crack of Stairway to Heaven on the left. Park in the small pull out on the south side of the road. A short hike up the trail brings you to the area.
