Description Suggest change

This used to be the Mother of all the Quarries, water, death, and craziness. Now filled in, it boasts pretty high walls by Quarry standards and some cool climbing. Most of the climbs are nice and sunny. Per Ron Birk, since the quarries were filled in, these walls were reduced in height from about 75 to 30 feet.
