Description

Section 18 is between Iron Mountain and Norway. 5 main cliffs visible from Upper Pine Creek Road are southwest facing and all on state land. It features mostly steep quartzite and each cliff offers different features and types of climbing.

Access from the south from Bentons lake road and stay on the powerline and on top of the cliff to stay off private property. If you access from the North, follow the approach trail to Cliff Seibert to avoid trespassing.

Rock is known to be loose and wild so belay to the side when possible, and stay safe!!
