Description

Smaller Cliffs for bouldering and many free standing boulders. Lots of super steep faces, several harrowing highball boulders, and many medium and lowball rigs.

Bullet southern sandstone, unique climbs, the steepest faces (several huge roofs and tons of overhung faces), and skin friendly ultra grippy texture.

The approach is short and easy.

Crimper's Climbing Gym and River Rock Climbing, this place is for you!

Getting There

Once at the top of the mountain, use the AT parking. Head north (towards Jenkins Shelter) on the AT and walk for maybe a mile to reach the furthest bouldering area (Capstone Area, Capstone Boulder). All the way along the trail for the first mile are TONS of boulders. As I, or YOU, develop these and get a better handle on the area, this page will be updated more.
