Anyone know where to find beta on routes here? also I saw a picture on this site with a metal stamp giving the rating of a climb, is it like that for all the climbs in this area? Thanks.

Relaxing at the P1 belay of Fruit Loops at Rumbling Bald.

There's an entry in the routes database here for King's Bluff, but it doesn't have any routes listed. I've never climbed there so I can't really help.

Maybe Brad Killough will chime in here, I believe he knows the area.

Thanks, Brad. If you know some routes there, why don't you post them, maybe get things flowing. I'm kind of surprised that the area got added but no routes.

Kings Bluff has Tags on all the routes along with ratings. If you get lost just look at a tag and then the guidebook to see how close you are. Also nearly everyone is glad to help out with suggestions. Most routes take about 4 to 6 quickdraws a few take more for anchors. Its a play ground with lots of options.

Re: the tags -- there are some mixed routes at King's Bluff, and the tags don't make note of these. You could climb there a lot and never run into one, but they do exist. There's a 5.8 climber's right of the stairs that people bail off all the time (can't remember the name). Just a heads up.
