Description

Has many moderate 10's and a few good great 11's. Here you will find the most climbers at Palomas.

Has a 15 foot band of chossy rock at the base of most of the climbs, be careful in this area. Most routes are closely bolted at the bottom for this reason.

** All routes are equipped with steel lowering hardware. Please avoid toproping through the lowering hardware as both gates of the hooks are oriented facing forward and don't offer sufficient protection for toproping. Instead, build your own anchor with personal gear and have only the last person lower off the fixed lowering hardware.

Getting There

Travel about 10 min from the start of the climbs. Areas starts after a sharp downturn, squeezing between the cliff and a tree.
