Description Suggest change

This area is in between the two parking areas on Harpers Ferry Rd (same as Sand Hook Rd but on the west side of Maryland Heights) upstream of Maryland Heights. The rock in this area is really bad in some places and pretty good in other spots. There are both rope and bouldering opportunities at this area but not in high volume.

Getting There Suggest change

You park in one of the two NHPS parking lots on Harpers Ferry Rd and walk up into the woods from the road. You have to wander through some bad rock to get to the good sections.
