Description

A nice wall with a few really good routes. Slightly overhanging. Sun in the morning but shady most the day. A great escape from the crowds, and home to some face climbing test pieces. Together with the nearby Lunbaryard, there is something for everyone and makes for a great day out. Not a good spot for rainy or cold days however.

Getting There

Park in the Flat Hollow parking lot and hike up the gravel road (this road is on the right side as you enter the parking lot). Follow the road uphill. The road will switchback to the left and you'll see a wooden sign there for The Getaway - do not go this way. Continue straight just a little more and there will be a pull-off on the left side of the road. There is a wooden sign here for Throwback Crag. Follow the trail uphill to the cliff.
