Nuria getting a sweet swim-up start


Description 

A low-water climbing area (oct-april)

Deep-water soloing abounds from 5.5 to 5.12+

Many hangers missing, and nasty slipery rock can be encountered.

A great swimming spot during the summer, the hike isn't more than 5 min.

Don't park here late, unless you want to sacrifice your car to some locals.


Getting There 

Take Whippoorwill road follow paved road almost to the end, take a left and park then follow the dirt road until you reach a fork (bonfire pit) take a left and go down into the cliff breakdown to reach the start for many climbs.
