Hidden Slabs

Maryland > Vaso Island

Description

This is a small, 35ft high crag with two routes on it. The cliff sits up the hill from the water. It is SW facing and in the shade. It is west of the Salad Bar and east of the Bonzai area. There is a fixed anchor atop the wall.

Getting There

Go to Carderock (Aka, C&O National Rec. area). Park at the climber's lot. Hike the canal trail going west. At the stone wall, drop down into the trees and cross the river. Bushwack across the island to its south side.
