Orange Oswald Wall

Kristin on Hippie Dreams.

Description 

Gumbies everywhere!!!

For some reason gym climbers think that the New and Summersville is a good destination for the 5.8-5.10 gym climber. It isn't, the climbs here had solid ratings and the holds are rarely obivious. However for some reason gym climbers come to Summersville to clip bolts and hang their way up the moderates.

This cliff is always filled with Gumbies falling and failing and spraying all over 5.10. Avoid it at all costs on the weekends.

Getting There 

The farthest cliff to climbers right. 10 min walk from the ladders.
