Description

This shady limestone wall is extremely popular place to avoid sunshine but comes with heavy crowds on any day, including weekdays. Expect photographers, tourists, gym climber groups, locals and traveling climbers at this busy crag. Routes range from moderate to very difficult. Great climbing but don't expect solitude.

There are many extensions, variations, and link-ups due to the height, difficulty variance, and general popularity of the wall. Extensions are marked with [E] in front of the route name and link-ups with an [L].
