Open public lands (Forest Service). Respect adjacent landowners. MORE INFO >>> The land surrounding the crags is a mix of Forest Service and private inholdings. Several of the minor roads lead to private summer cabins, some of which are quite close to the cliffs. The main roads are all on public property, but don't drive down anything resembling a driveway or leading to a residence. Maintain a low profile when climbing here. Keep dogs in control or consider not bringing them out here. Camp well away from any cabins, watch your campfire carefully, and pack out all trash! The cliffs and access are all on public land and legit, but the proximity to private holdings requires sensitivity and best behavior. Be good stewards to this special area and we'll all enjoy it for years to come! This information is a public crowdsourcing effort between the Access Fund, and Mountain Project. You should confirm closures, restrictions, and/or related dates. Keeping climbing areas open and conserving the climbing environment

Description 

Fantastic climbing! Another limestone classic that looks like crap but is actually quite solid and climbs like a dream. Great pockets, edges and jugs, fun athletic movement, ever steepening, to a "sting in the tail" heartbreaker move below the anchors. Maybe a bit soft for the grade?

Location
