Description

This is the most vertical rock you'll find in the Camden area.

Getting There

The base of the climb is best approached from BC parking lot up a moderate switchback trail through the pines (10 minutes) bringing you to an undulating 20m slab approach to the base of the left side of the wall. Above you'll be able see some bolts (under the gun and bad larry). This final bit requires root grabbing, exposed 5ish scrambling. Creative girth hitching and gear can be place for leading up to rings at base. A fixed line here would be a nice upgrade to improve safety to this little sport gem.

An alternate approach option for the top of the cliff for setting up TRs and or Rapping in: Once getting to the face of Barrett's cove cliff keep going to the left until you hit the stream. follow the switchback trail upwards, keeping the stream on your left, till you get to the crossing at the top, and then another 100 ft flat walk to the top of the cliff to gain a great lake views.
