Many routes begin right off the lower road and ascend the alcove, although there are routes to the left and right starting from the slanted hillsides.
Spring and Fall offer the best temperatures for climbing. Summer is great in the morning until around 11 a.m. when the South facing wall is catching sun. Ideal temperatures are 50 to 70 degrees. Warm winter days are surprisingly tolerable making this area climbable year round. The granite can feel slippery when warm and quickly numbs your fingers when it is cold.
As of 2023, there are 28 routes from 5.10- to 5.13b. The rock quality is generally bomber with edges and slopers.
