Access Issue: Railroad
Details
It is illegal to be on the railroad tracks. Hot springs goers do it all the time so it shouldn't be an issue but keep a low profile and stay off the tracks. As Jeff notes in the guidebook, it's probably best to hike along the river instead of along the tracks.
Description
Zipper Buttress is the first zone you come to and features a number of quality climbs on steep and less-than-steep rock.
Getting There
This is the first area you come to on the approach and includes climbs in the vicinity of the cave/chimney feature on the far right side of the crag to the slabbier routes around the corner on the left.
