Description 

Collection of many walls and rock formations of various solidity and funness. See some of the pictures for beta on the climbs.

Not throughly developed, but obvious cliffs surround the town.

Plenty of room here for someone to come in and bust out cool adventurous climbing destination.

FYI this town is the half-way point on the AT.
