Description Suggest change

Not the greatest chunk of cliff along the New, but if you want to get away from the masses, this is a good spot. Close to 20 climbs: 3 sport and 16ish trad. A good guidebook will fill in the gaps. 

Getting There Suggest change

There are two ways to get to Kingfish.  If you start your day at Sandstonia, simply follow the rock upstream until you get to a couple dirty cracks and round the corner to a small alcove with a short beautiful crack in it.  That's King of Swing, this crag's crown jewel.  Perhaps the only jewel.

If you're going straight there, follow the power line cut until you see the sign for Kingfish and hang a left onto a trail into the woods that'll take you there.
