This crag has good rock, easy access and is a great place to spend an afternoon. There’re a dozen or so roped climbs and some bouldering on a long, low, south facing cliff that crests at about 35’ tall. Some of the climbs have lead bolts but the top is rotten and the only reliable anchor is yourself far enough back to not get pulled off. First developed in the late ‘80s by Jim “Frodo” Lybarger, “Waterman” Bob Conz, Mark Quinn, Bart Dinsman, and a bunch of other Team Keyhole folk.

[Hide Comment] Just checked this area out and added some photos and routes. There are obvious chalk marks and the occasional bolted hanger on the ridge. There is only one top anchor that I could find at the top and it was sturdy enough to rappel from (it is the anchor at the top of "Crotalus Crack"). Other than that there are only natural anchor opportunities and some evidence of where some anchors were removed at the top. However you don't need anchors to descend routes from as you can just walk down the back side of the ridge. The rock quality here is hit and miss- there are sections of the most solid rock you could find anywhere and sections of the most chossy, loose, and crumbly rock you could find anywhere.
