Description Suggest change

There are currently 25 anchors, almost exclusively top rope, many of which are unlisted here. Ratings go as low as 5.easy up to some 5.10s.  As of late 2020, Peak and Passages are in the process of upgrading some anchors to glued anchors, so there is some transition going on.  As part of Passages, there are several routes that have bolted manmade holds to help younger or novice climbers.  Most routes are slabby, but there is still a lot of variety to be found even among the slabs.

There is a trail along the top for easy access to the anchors, but some of the anchors are set too low to reach safely, so sometimes you'll have to anchor to a tree.

Getting There Suggest change

Follow the main trail upriver and the quarry will be on your left, you can't miss it.
