Description

The Cascade sector is a cooler, shady option rising right out of the creek across from the Belleric sector.

Northeast facing, the right side has shorter and easier routes ranging from 3+ to 6a on somewhat slick surfaced limestone, while the left side has a bit harder routes from 5+ to 7a+. 29 routes in all.

A popular area with routes ranging in length from 10 to 25 meters. Most of the crag has a decently wide base good for hanging out with kids, packs, beverages...

Getting There

From the parking area, approach by the trail to the Château sector especially if the creek is running full or by the easier trail on the Belleric side of the creek, dropping across the creek to approach the far right side of the Secteur Cascade.

The parking lot has signs marking the trails.
