[Hide Comment] Just save the effort. These scabby crags are short, loose and have less than 10 feet of good climbing between them. I thought I was at the wrong area when I was told these were the routes. My God... do FAists have no shame? Dec 6, 2006

[Hide Comment] Avoid at all costs. This thing is a total pile, with chossy, over graded, overrated routes. About 40min uphill march that rewards you with junk. This crag wouldn't even be popular if it were roadside. Maybe the routes will clean up after a hundred ascents or so, but they will never see that many and for good reason. Save your time and effort.
