Access Issue: SOUTH SIDE CRAGS ARE CLOSED Details

7/2021: Access in this area has always been nebulous, but recently landowners have made clear that they want NO visitors in the area. Please refrain from visiting any of the crags on the Southside of the Meadow, including those along Glade Creek (Mud Hueco) and Orange Wall. This includes drivers, cyclists, ATVers, and climbers. Please climb at another crag.

Description

ALL CLIMBING AND ALL OTHER RECREATION IS NOW CLOSED AT THE SOUTH SIDE CRAGS. PLEASE CLIMB SOMEWHERE ELSE.

The "South Side" of the Meadow River is one of the most diverse areas in the entire NRG region, with climbs from 5.4 to 5.14, sport and trad, summer shade, great undocumented bouldering, and swimming holes. For this reason, it's been getting quite crowded over the last few years, and right now there are some access issues with the landowner (see "access issues" in this section before making a trip here).
