Horse Creek Rock Climbing

UPDATE; Horse Creek is now accessed via a trail that leads into the "heart" of Mill Creek. Park at the very obvious parking lot near the bathroom in the same spot the road bends along the canyon - the loop road goes almost due north as it approaches Mill Creek and then takes almost a 90 degree bend back to the east (before it gets to the bridge).

The rope ladder is now gone and the trail follows the obvious, trail, above the old ladder and continues along upper part of canyon until trail leads to newly made steps down into Mill Creek. Alternatively you can continue along upper trail until you come into the original trail that takes you to the "dog trail" with rope for assistance down some ledges.

At the base of the "OLD & GONE" ladder you immediately access a highly developed buttress. The first lines encountered are a couple of excellent 12a/b routes on slightly overhanging stone. The left line has a killer all points off dyno to get you going!

Almost all of the cragging is west of this buttress - just follow the trail down canyon and pick your poison. When you encounter the creek you can cross over and find a nice warm-up 5.9 and up the trail to the right are some more varied climbs from 5.10-5.13(14?) Also, in the canyon itself are some older lines, run-out and not a lot of info on.

As an alternate approach, if you are already at the Wicked Crag, there is a trail along the canyon floor all the way to Horse Creek.
