Description 

Good climbing area if you are stuck in the dubois itching to climb, certainly not a destination otherwise. Sharp limstone slab with a number of easy bolted climbs. Good area to try your first sport lead. Pleasant weather many months out of the year, hot mid-day in the summer, but good for evening climbing. you'll be the only one out there, any time of day. Pick up a copy of Trevor Bowman's Dubois Rock if you have a chance.


Getting There 

In dubois, turn north on horse creek road (right in the middle of town, next to the old mine). go about 9 miles to the horse creek campground. there the horse creek slabs will be very obvious. Park in the pull off on the left after crossing horse creek.
