Zen Pen Area

Oklahoma > Tulsa Area > Zen Pen
Warning Access Issue: Hiking along the railroad tracks is illegal and parking in the adjacent dirt pullout may get your vehicle towed. BUT the VFW just south is graciously providing access via their gravel parking lot. DetailsDrop down

Description

This is where a bulk of the routes are located. Lots of grades and everything from fun slabs to fun overhangs. Good routes all around.

Again I don't know all the names because i haven't found a good topo from the guys who developed it all, (i am working on that though) if the name of the route is in parentheses () than it is just a random name i gave it and will usually just say something about what the route looks like or climbs like.

Getting There

walk south along the river until you get to the tree ladder (a big shaky dead tree with stuff nailed to it) climb down and start climbing up
