These short black basalt walls are located very close to town. This area was develop in the mid-90's by Tupper and Goss, but trad lines were done as early as the late 80's by Olvesky. The sunny side of the caynon has mostly climbs in the 5.8-5.10 range. The shady side is limited to mostly 5.11 to 5.13.
This is a great place after a big rain when all of the area's sandstone is wet, and when it is cold out.
Getting There
Drive north on Bluff St. and park on the left after passing Sunset Blvd. (2 miles) Hike north on the bike trail, then branch left into the caynon.
Is it possible to divide this area into the sunny side and shady side, and then group the routes accordingly? It would make it a lot easier for users to plan a trip (rather than looking at every route to determine where it is).
