Access Issue: Follow Park Rules & Inspect Hardware
Details
Rock Climbing is currently listed as one of the activities to enjoy at Miller Springs park, and there are currently no rules or regulations prohibiting climbing here ( templeparks.com/parks___tra…).
However, access in Texas should never be taken for granted, and as such it is important that all visitors take extra care not do something that would jeopardize access in the future. As such, the park rules should be followed, which include observing park hours (8:00 a.m. - Dusk), no firearms or alcohol, no glass containers, and pets on a 6 foot leash. The full list of rules can be found at the above link.
In addition, due to the particularly dangerous nature of rock climbing, access can be jeopardized due to accidents which may occur while climbing.
***Please remember to INSPECT BOLTS prior to climbing on them, as many of the routes in this area were bolted nearly 30 years ago. Be VIGILANT when belaying, as rocks can break without warning, and decking is always possible!****
Description
Steep, hard, pocket pulling is the name of the game at this wall. The warmup, which clocks in at 11c includes several monos and two-finger pockets, and most of the routes here fall into the 5.12 - 5.13 range. However, there is room for MUCH more development here, and there is potential for this place to include a multitude of easier routes for climbers of all skill levels. For now, if you come to this wall expect sandbagged grades, but rewarding gymnastic climbing on a spectacular wall.
Getting There
From the trails heading down to the climbing areas take the second fork on the left. If you cross the old iron bridge you've gone too far. The trail heads into the canyon and directly up to the wall directly below "Mr. Sir".
