Description

Reservoir Ridge is a crag that offers afternoon shade and a handful of solid, easy sport routes. The ridge climb is trad, the east face contains bolted routes and 1 trad route, on relaxed slabby quartzite. This is also a great place for people beginning to trad climb to practice placing and leading on gear, either by climbing the trad route called Crack Face (containing many variations), or sport routes like War Clamor and Muddy Ethics where you can find many gear placements and also clip bolts to feel extra secure.

Getting There

Walk north through the Storm Mountain Picnic area parking lot and take the path that walks along the eastern edge of the sand volleyball courts. Take the wooden stairs up and over the dam to a path that heads north through the grass to the large eastern facing slab.
